The state House of Representatives was debating a proposal to raise Oregon's minimum wage based on three geographic divisions. Debate has begun in the Oregon House of Representatives over a unique proposal that would set the state's minimum wage based on three geographic divisions. A regional approach would balance the needs of rapidly Portland with the Oregon's struggling farming communities, long separated from the state's largest city by economic, cultural and political differences. Division over the minimum wage - currently at $7.25 in federal law - is often split along party lines and pits low-wage workers against business groups, as has been seen in Oregon this year.
