The Oregonian’s Business section of the daily print paper has had such good consumer law and small business stories and information lately that I’m wondering why they call it Business, rather than Law or Working or Buying & Selling.

I cut out some of the best Oregon consumer news from local newspapers and more than one of my library patrons has benefited from that old-fashioned “vertical file” of articles.
