Yes...they are to be aware of how they will respond and what supplies would be necessary IAW the states response plan. When the Federal Government declares a nationwide emergency, certain monies and supplies can trickle to the hardest-hit areas. Did this governor put in a request with the Feds? Is this a misappropriation of troops? Was this done outside of official channels and protocols? When is it okay for a Governor to use their foreign spouse to communicate with a nation's Embassy? Furthermore, why buy a lot of old testing kits when onsight testing would be more accurate, cost-effective, and take a few hours at most? Like I said before, this is just a stunt and lame attempt at chest-puffing. The Feds own the border, airspace, airport operations authorities, and all processes in-between. The shipping manifest and travel had to pre-approved. LOL
