2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2016 Brown revises wage proposal downward Some complained previous plan was µ¿ nanciall\ irresponsible’ By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau SALEM — Gov. Kate Brown’s minimum wage proposal apparentl\ was unpopular enough that the governor revised it )rida\. Brown’s plan now sets lower minimums than the original and begins boosting wages to $9.75 six months earlier starting in -ul\ . Under the new proposal, the minimum wage would graduall\ climb Irom the existing $9.25 to $14.50 in the Portland metro area and $1.25 in the rest oI the state b\ 2022. &osts to K12 educa tion would be around $52 million. Pa\ Ior certain classi¿ ed public emplo\ees such as entr\level assis tants and custodians would cost $4. million. Univer sities estimate their costs would be on order oI $75 million in the next bien nium. The cost would be between $5.25 million and $9 million Ior communit\ colleges, under the gover nor’s previous plan. +igher education oI¿ cials “point out that, in general, an increase in wages Ior student worNers is liNel\ to reduce other assis tance the students receive, including Iederal aid,´ the ¿ scal oI¿ ce report stated. The higher minimums also could aIIect worNers’ eligibilit\ Ior state assis tance such as the Oregon +ealth Plan, Iood assis tance program, school lunch programs, subsidi]ed preschool, and student ¿ nan cial aid. in one biennium oI hiNing the minimum immediatel\ to $13.50 or $15 per hour. AFWXDO FRVW GLI¿ FXOW to calculate Sean Hart Gov. Kate Brown has revised her minimum wage plan. +er Iormer plan called Ior minimums oI $15.52 in the Portland area and $1.50 in the rest oI the state b\ 2022. ³Based on IeedbacN Irom staNeholders, , have re¿ ned m\ proposal, begin ning implementation in 201, so worNers get higher pa\ sooner, and extending the glide path to give busi nesses more time to prepare Ior higher wages,´ Brown said in a statement. 7he ¿ scal oI¿ ce released a report )rida\ that anal\]ed the cost to state government Legislative Fiscal 2I¿ cer Ken 5occo said the actual cost per biennium is diI¿ cult to calculate because there are multiple proposals, and all oI the proposals raise the wage graduall\ rather than all at once. ³,t would never happen all at once,´ 5occo said. ³1o one is going to sa\ we are going to raise minimum wage Irom $9.25 to $13.50. ,t’s all phased in.´ ,mmediatel\ boosting Oregon’s minimum wage to $15 an hour could cost the state in excess oI $140 million next biennium, according to the anal\sis. The estimate excludes costs to local governments and an\ indirect costs such as higher paid public emplo\ees who might seeN a corresponding raise.
