Wasco County Commissioner Rod Runyon has spent a lot of time in Salem since the Oregon Legislative session got underway, testifying for the Association of Oregon Counties on various bills under consideration.  Runyon says a big concern for the counties is how much is being considered during the short session, and how little communication there has been between the state level and the county level.  Runyon uses the minimum wage proposals as an example, pointing out no formulas have been provided to help counties determine potential costs they could face.  Runyon noted Linn County believes if the minimum wage went up to 11 dollars an hour, the impact to their annual budget would be an increase of two million dollars.
