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 $20 per hour within four years. (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.
