(Salem, OR) -- A measure that would increase the minimum wage in Oregon is moving through the Legislature. Following hours of debate, the state Senate voted yesterday, 16-12, to advance the bill. "The Oregonian" reports the six-year plan would raise the hourly minimum to 14-75 within Portland's Urban Growth Boundary, to 13-50 in middle-tier areas including Eugene and Bend, and 12-50 in more rural areas of the state. The bill now moves to the House for consideration.
