Johnson vetoes welfare bill in New Mexico
Gov. Gary Johnson vetoed the Democrats welfare reform bill and sent his own plan to Washington for approval. The dispute over welfare work requirements continues as the state considers lawsuits against the administration. The governor promotes a 25 hour weekly work mandate with a three year lifetime limit, two months to start work or school, while the legislature favored a two year window, 20 hour minimum, and a five year limit.
