Are feds interfering with Phoenix PPE orders?

Phoenix Mayor, (D) Kate Gallego, is not alone. Heck of a job, Jared, you have blood on your hands. We will remember your mafia style crime family come November.

Are feds interfering with Phoenix PPE orders?

City of Phoenix chief financial officer Denise Olson tells 12 News the city has not been able to fulfill a PPE order for more than three weeks.

“We’ve had couple situations where the vendor said they could not meet those orders, that they’d been commandeered by the federal government. But then we went and tried to check that, and we don’t know what that means,” Olson said.

Olson says two of those vendors were Minnesota-based Fastenal and the Los Angeles-based Dunn Edwards.

Dunn Edwards denied knowing anything about that claim.

A spokesperson for Fastenal tells 12 News manufacturers of the masks stopped sending them inventory at the direction of the federal government and therefore the company had to cancel its order to the City of Phoenix.

now its about which side the bread is buttered.

I would join a WU in a heart beat. We really need a movement like the Mobilization to End the War.

You don't need a Weatherman to know which side the wind is blowing, its time for the vandal to take the handle.

Dump has destroyed any last vestige of what it means to be an American.

There is only hate and greed and fear. It will never be the same.

I am so sad.
