The Portland Green Independent Committee launched a citizens initiative Thursday to raise the city’s minimum wage to at least $15 an hour by 2019. Green party members submitted an affidavit and the language of the proposed referendum to the Portland city clerk Thursday afternoon. Once the language is certified, the group can begin to collect signatures to force a citywide vote.
