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.

I should be $15!

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!

All they have to do is start the first 30 to 40 minutes of the movie in the full classic costume with mask on. After that no one will care who is under the mask.

I suck at fan casting but a rebooted franchise calls for a new Wolverine, and it's an opportunity to bring in someone smaller and scrappier.

It simply just CANT be done

Everything Nerdy

They're going to need to do a very different take on the character if they don't use Hugh Jackman if they want it to work.

We need to stay informed about the local news that impacts our lives inBend and CO. Need to stay up to date on sheriff and police issues, parking, housing and what the city councils and county commissions are doing

Oakley Taylor

We need all the help to fight fires in our precious state since the feds have cut our funding. This is not a “liberal” or “conservative “ issue. It’s a quality of life issue and the preservation of our communities and the forest that we treasure.

David Komar

but it doesn't need to be a print version. online is just as good.

Latterdaysaint

Yes we need to stay informed but not by a liberal newspaper

Douglas Kaufman

I imagine your idea of a “great” newspaper, would be Pravda or some MAGA run rag, right? (All the Conservative obfuscation, all of the time!) Why you think the Bulletin is a “Liberal” publication, I just don’t get. Now, “The Source”, THAT’S definitely a Liberal rag. (And they’re very good at it!)

Oakley Taylor

Please don’t make this a political division. Let’s be civil and acknowledge all that we have in common; the quality of life in our community.

I have always loved JUST getting the Sunday paper with the Parade magazine and the extras; however, I cancelled my subscription a couple of years ago. I have NEVER had a need or a desire for a DAILY paper.

At the cost to whom?
