Try living on minimum wage. You can't put a roof over your head and eat a healthy meal. Owners of a business should try living on minimum wage for a month.

Minimum wage jobs are often for unskilled labor, which don't necessarily deserve a hefty pay raise. This should be on merit or based on education/experience.

Every time wages go up, so does everything else. Businesses pass it on to the consumer because they lose profit if they don't.

Oregon does everything in it's power to drive out small business. This kind of legislation is all about buying votes.

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Sam Davis

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

David Kline

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students
