Illinois state officials are frustrated with the federal government's response and states' ability to get much needed supplies in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic
From CNN's Elise Hammond
Illinois State Comptroller Susana Mendoza said she sent someone from her staff to a McDonald's with a check for $3.4 million to pay a middle man to get masks twice. She said states should not have to compete with other states for supplies. The absence of coherent guidelines from the White House has created a battle among states and hospitals, which have been hooked into"We shouldn't be in a situation where we are left to compete with our own allies, but that's essential what's happening in the absence of the federal leadership," Mendoza said.
