Do you support an increase in Portland's minimum wage?
Poll Description

The Portland City Council is weighing a controversial proposed hike to the city’s minimum wage.

The proposal would increase the minimum wage from $15.50 per hour to $19 per hour by 2028. (The statewide hourly minimum wage is $14.65.)

The proposal does not include a wage hike for tipped workers who are currently paid an hourly wage of $7.75, but employers are required to ensure that wages and tips combined total $15.50 per hour. 

While inflation pressures have made it hard to survive on the minimum wage, many business owners are concerned the hike would cut already thin margins.
