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.

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.
