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.

Dave Voiles

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

A woman sent her resume to Nike on a cake and it went viral. Have you done anything to stand apart from other applicants?

With covid and the governor lowering standards for graduation, a standardized test is necessary . We need better educated students and graduates.

Dianne Price

They are passing kids that can barely read, do math or write!!

Matt Stickler

Absolutley especially important since lockdowns...our children's education has suffered, and we need to get back reading, writing, arithmetic and foster critical thinking once again.

Gabe West

Schools should have stayed open during the pandemic so yes I think standard testing is nessesary

Steven Daniels

Looks like a spelling test is "nessesary".
