I think it's great that the Oregon minimum wage is going up. It's much needed!

People cannot live on what the minimum wage is now. Simple logic!

Leslie Ann

BUT THE COST OF LIVING NEEDS TO QUIT RISING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, BENEFIT THE PEOPLE.

Sheri Clarke

Too many people lost their jobs.

Randy Gillespie

Thank you Andrea you must feel the same way I do we've on the front lines from the beginning and all we get is abused by all the people that took time off for the pandemic and have free money to step on the back of people to try to help them out nobody cares about the Frontline worker God help Ameri

Randy Gillespie

I think the price increase is great for people to get back to work and get off an appointment and living off the government cuz this is not the American way Americans work for a living get off your ass and go back to work

Andrea Keller

I also think that people who are holding out on unemployment should return to work. Some of us have been working throughout the pandemic without the option of taking government aid or unemployment. it's time to do your fair share and participate in the community you live in

I don't think 75 cents is enough. The minimum wage is not a livable wage.

It kills jobs

Scott Albert

This poll is redundant. It is a simple fact(common sense) that an increased minimum wage costs jobs.

Christena

It's not necessary at all. Living costs going down would be a better answer.

Ed Ludwig

Minimum wage was never meant to live on.

tim collins

Like always it just gets passed to the consumer.

Kristina Biederman

It's not necessarily only about salary. The cost of living (food, housing, gas, health insurance, etc) have all greatly increased. Paying increased minimum wage results in increased prices for businesses that often cannot afford to pay more.

Sorina Kawas Mooney

Hurts the small business owners. They will just hire fewer people to compensate. Geez, tired of people who have NEVER run a business before making these kinds of decisions.

k san

I should be $15!

Josh Shaffer

Renting in this town is all ready on the absolutely crazy side. Increasing minimum wage will just makes things worse. its bad enough i get my rent raised every year and well this increase wont cover it at all. The renting prices are out of hand and I feel no matter how much I make it wont matter

Amanda Wallace

It doesn't help because it just causes the cost of everything to increase. Therefore, it makes no difference.

Kimmy Wasatch

It will never be enough, as long as people get "free money" from the state and federal programs, they will not work. Stop the handouts!

Charlie Kirk was a man of faith and gave his very life for the values I stand for. He was a voice heard around the world

Pat Nelson Wilson

He doesn’t deserve it. He is a nobody and spewed hateful rhetoric.

Janice Adair

He was a racist, white supremacist, and very divisive figure. The political violence that ended his lift is a terrible thing but it’s something he helped foment. This is the most ridiculous idea I can imagine.

Lisa Alexander

He was a racist person who spread hate.

Jane CommunityMember

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

k san

Absolutely NOT!! He was a racist extraordinaire and spread divisive speech and ideas.

Byron Barclay

Because his MO is actually deceptive & decisive!

Martie King

He is not a hero.

Linda Spaet

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

Robert Spaet

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

Alex GERRITY

He was not a government figure, and while I don’t condone the violence that took his life, he called on his supporters to bail out others that committed violence against elected government officials.

Laurie Maholland

Mr. Kirk was too controversial and not a hero.

celeste carico

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

Gerald Wonnacott

We didn't create a Melissa Hortmann day and she was a good person. Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was about racism, sexism, mysoginism, and divisiveness. He was not a good person and represented everything that was NOT Christian.

Jim Terry

Need I really explain

Priscilla Smith

Absolutely not!

Shannon Gamble

Sure! Let's give kudos to the shooter! NOT! What about the 5 officers who just got shot in Pennsylvania? Should we have a day for that too?? Absolutely NOT necessary.
