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

No, it's not enough.

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!

I ignored it just like Republican lawmakers ignore takkng a bigger stance on control on school shootings. All they do is give meaningless mouth service the whole time pocketing money from NRA lobbyists. I don't want to take anyone's guns from them, but our children should feel safe.

He has us at odds with our allies, our adversaries and within our own nation due to the extreme violence with the ICE issue... civil unrest...

Max

Wrong again.

Steven Watson

He is completely insane. He and his cabinet want the natural resources, like Venezuela oil!!!

Max

Wrong again.

Bryan Jones

We already have a military presence in Greenland. Denmark is a NATO ally. Trump should NOT be threatening the European balance or the time-tested established order. This has ramifications far beyond Trump's ego.

Max

Wrong again.

0571953

US should not invade other countries. Never Greenland or Venezuela. This is Trump enriching himself. Dangerous and destroying US reputation on human rights.

Max

He didn't invade them.

Denzel McVeigh

You don't own this country and you can't own Greenland matter of fact go away you prick

Max

Wrong again.

Kevin Blount

We have existing agreements with Greenland and Denmark regarding military bases. We should expand on that, rather than threaten to take the entire country by force 'if necessary'

Max

Trump made a deal that everyone loves. All over the EU.
