  • Chicago & Illinois wasted $66 million for unused McCormick Place temp hospital

    It doesn’t matter if the temporary hospital was needed or not. Let’s give the government the benefit of the doubt that they were actually worried the hospital system in Chicago would be overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients.
