the PPP loan $s don’t suprise me. Tons of buiness got tons of $. The small company where I worked got $5.5 mill and none of the employees have any idea who got what or where the $ went? over the coming years there’s going to be tons of scandal on an epic scale.

The list is missing some NFP newspapers. For example, Growing Community Media group that covers Chicago’s west side and near west suburbs received around $400,000.
