District 3 race weighs wage hike and board size
Linn County District 3 voters face a choice between incumbent Democrat Ben Rogers and Republican Tim Gull. Gull calls to reduce the five member Board of Supervisors to three and cut pay, while Rogers defends five seats as better representation and supports broader pay scrutiny and mental health service funding. The minimum wage ordinance would raise the county’s wage to 10.25 by 2019, a measure Gull opposes as harming jobs. Rogers supports it as a quality of life issue and human services funding.
