Michigan sheriff who protested Whitmer's stay-home order is working at home



(I suspect had the 'stay at home' order come from a republican male governor, he'd have taken no issue with it.)

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Despite his public opposition to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf is doing just that.

But he says the governor’s order is only part of the reason he and administrative staff are working from home. He and Undersheriff Matt Houchlei need to be healthy in case the coronavirus spreads to law-enforcement or corrections staff and they have to fill in.

Leaf contends that this complaints about the stay-at-home order stem from what he calls a shutdown of Michigan’s economy. He spoke earlier this month at the “Michigan Patriots Rally - Sheriffs Speak Out” in Rosa Parks Circle. He said that Whitmer’s quarantine order amounted to mass arrests.

Leaf, the only sheriff to speak at the May 18 rally in Grand Rapids, hailed 77-year-old Owosso barber Karl Manke, who opened despite the governor’s order.
