A group of New Mexico judges are seeking to overturn a
veto by Gov. Susana Martinez that denied them an eight percent raise.
The
judges filed a lawsuit Monday against Martinez
in New Mexico State Supreme Court to reverse the governor's line-item veto.
Attorney
Ray Vargas, who is representing the judges, says Martinez "ignored the system of checks
and balances" when she vetoed the raises for judges.
The governor's office
says Martinez
has to right to veto any line item.
