On October 4, 2005, some Albuquerque voters may be hoodwinked into believing they are voting on whether or not to inflate the local minimum wage. Significant controversy has been sparked by the deceptive practices of the ordinance’s promoters, and their discrimination against the disabled. The issue will be the subject of a discussion hosted by the Anderson Schools of Management at the University of New Mexico.
