Letter to the Editor: Thanks for publishing list of businesses receiving PPP loans

Thanks for publishing the long list of local businesses who received PPP U.S. Government provided and forgiven “loans” to maintain operations and payrolls during the recent pandemic slowdown.

These loans here and across the country were instrumental in the prevention of more widespread economic catastrophe. It would be honest and refreshing if these recipients would publicly acknowledge this government assistance instead of accepting it silently or, worse yet, bashing “big government handouts” at every opportunity and especially during election time.

Keep up the good work at MRN.
