| 释义 |
Arguments for and againstProponents included labor unions, the Oregon Catholic Conference, and other advocates for the poor. They pointed out the difficulty of raising a family on the current minimum wage, and argued that tying the minimum wage to inflation was more fair. Rather than teenage workers, supporters argued that many minimum wage earners were adults supporting children.[2] Opponents feared that a minimum wage increase would prolong the recession Oregon was experiencing at the time, pointed out that Oregon already had a relatively high minimum wage (compared with other U.S. states), and argued that indexing the wage to the consumer price index would unfairly punish rural communities, since the CPI is based on prices in cities.[3] {{See also|minimum wage}}Detailed historyThe measure was sponsored by future Oregon Commissioner of Labor and Industries Dan Gardner and state Representative Diane Rosenbaum.[4] In 2003, the Republican-controlled Oregon House of Representatives approved a bill (House Bill 2624) that would repeal the part of Measure 25 that ties the minimum wage to inflation.[5] As of April 2003, however, observers did not expect the bill to pass the Oregon State Senate (which was then evenly split between Republicans and Democrats) or be signed by Democratic Governor Ted Kulongoski.[6] The bill was not taken up in the Senate's 2003 session,[7] and the Senate is now majority Democrat, suggesting it is unlikely to be taken up in the foreseeable future. {{update|date=November 2010}}Results{{Referendum| title = Measure 25 (2002) | yes = 645,016 | yespct = 51.33 | no = 611,658 | nopct = 48.67 | total = 1,256,674 | turnoutpct = 69.1 | electorate = 1,872,615 | source = Oregon State Elections Division[8][9] }} See also
