That a space has been rented to someone who is not a member of the general public for below market rates does not create a loophole in campaign finance law."According to Gonzalez, that's because vacancy rates are so high in downtown Portland that the rental would have gone unrented if his campaign hadn't occupied the space, essentially making the space worth $0.Here's how Mottet responded to that claim:
"The campaign asserts that the fact that the space sat empty for the last two years while advertised at $6,900 monthly rent suggests that the $6,900 per month figure [is] not its fair market value.
