Interesting. Either every municipality got it wrong, or the one province that setup the framework gummed it up. Always bet one the one, not the many, when looking for blame; I always say.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
