“The point of Oregon’s minimum wage is that it is the absolute least that anyone can get paid for an hour of work. Creating a so-called training wage lowers that minimum,” said Trent Lutz, Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Oregon. “It doesn't matter how Chris Dudley tries to spin it now that his stance has been picked up by the media. He can’t escape his own words.”
