New Mexico National Guard Death Benefit Boosted

While Congress debates how much death benefits to provide the troops, New Mexico has taken the lead for its National Guard. Governor Bill Richardson (D) signed into law his plan to pick up the insurance bill for a $250,000 National Guard death benefit policy. Currently, Washington only pays survivors $12,400 if their kin is killed in action. (MSNBC)
