New Mexico
Chapter 18 held its election of officers in March. Barbara
Pardo was elected chapter president; Tim Zagorski, vice
president; Eva Lujan, recording secretary; and Loretta
Naranjo Lopez, secretary-treasurer. Lopez is AFSCME’s
endorsed candidate for a seat on the board of New
Mexico’s Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA).
Pardo (right) and Lopez (left) are pictured above with
chapter board member Silviana Diaz D’Ouville at a recent
Santa Fe rally in support of Wisconsin public employees.
New Mexico employees and retirees have also been
under the gun. From the opening of the 2011 legislative
session in January, Chapter 18 retirees have been working
hard to beat back changes in retirement benefits.
Proposals include increasing the pension contributions of
state workers and public school employees, while reducing
employer contributions.
