SALEM (AP) — A group of unions and other liberal groups says it has ¿led paperwork for a ballot measure that would increase the statewide minimum wage to $13.50 per hour and allow local governments to raise it even higher. The Raise the Wage Coalition announced the ¿ling on Monday. The group says it hopes the Legislature will raise the minimum wage next year but it will be ready to go directly to voters if lawmakers don’t act. Meanwhile, a separate group that’s pushing a $15 statewide minimum wage began collecting signatures last week. Ballot measure organizers must to collect just over 88,000 signatures from registered voters to place an initiative on the 2016 ballot. Hi 68 92 79 64 66 51 64 71 76 72 71 Wed.

But, they say, it’s hard to know what impact adult recreational sales will have. “It’s going to be a surprise for everybody, we’re hoping it’s really busy,” said Lois Pariseau of Gras Cannabis in Portland, a dispensary that opened four months ago. Pariseau said a lot of people have been walking into the dispensary in recent weeks, asking about the start of early sales. The competition is stiff, she said, with several other dispensaries already open on their street. To lure recreational users, Gras Cannabis has been adver- tising, including in two local alternative newspapers and on two giant billboards in the city.

More than 200 of Oregon’s 345 medical marijuana dispensaries haYe noti¿ed the Oregon Health Authority of plans to sell recreational mari- juana starting on Thursday. Though some dispensaries may not qualify right away if they’re still in the appli- cation process and haven’t been approved, OHA spokesman Jonathan Modie said. Oregon passed Measure 91 in November. The law legalized possessing and growing limited amounts of marijuana for personal use starting July 1. But the state won’t be ready to begin regulated sales until next year. As a temporary stop-gap and to curb black market sales, medical dispensaries are allowed to conduct early sales of recre- ational marijuana tax-free. Taxes on recreational sales won’t start until Jan.

Adults over 21 can buy a quarter ounce of buds. Candy bars and brownies, as well as extracts, concen- trates and marijuana-infused products are not available in early sales. Customers must provide a valid, govern- ment-issued photo ID as proof of age. Ten cities and two coun- ties have prohibited early retail sales of marijuana, including Douglas and Harney counties, Gresham, Brownsville, John Day, Junction City, La Grande, Reedsport and Sherwood. Recreational pot has also been legalized in Washington, Colorado and Alaska, though in Alaska is still ¿guring out how to regulate the industry.
