The views expressed in these submissions are from anonymous, unverified sources and do not necessarily represent those of the Portland Mercury.

Just to be clear, not all small businesses are struggling.

I’m a divorce attorney and I’m having the best spring in years.

And I kept my stimulus check because my 2018 taxes were much lower than my 2019, or likely my 2020.

The Mercury depends on your continuing support to provide articles like this one. In return, we pledge our ongoing commitment to truthful, progressive journalism and serving our community. So if you’re able, please consider a small recurring contribution. Thank you—you are appreciated!
