from an R lobbyist involved in
stimulus: Hey Matt | have 100mil 3m
masks sitting here at the Port. Can
you reach out to newsoms people?
We can sell them to newsom right
now and he can do a presser with
the containers and say he has a
mask for every Californian. These
are the gold standard masks and
