The Democratic-controlled Oregon Legislature passed the highest minimum wage bill in the country, but in an unusual order of events, the state economic analysts weighed in on the effects after its passage. Shades of "We have to pass it to see what's in it." But I digress. And the envelope please - drum roll. What do we have for the folks Johnny? 40,000 - that's right - 40,000 fewer jobs by 2025 than Oregon would have had without the legislation! Oh boy! Democratic leaders off camera promised a "fix" next session. I can hardly wait.
