To the editor,
I am writing in response to David and Barbara Spindler’s letter to the editor from June 11 questioning our local sheriffs. I disagree with their opinion, and I believe it is a false accusation as well.
For starters, the Spindlers write that Sheriffs Todd Purcell and Ed Williams are not upholding the law when it comes to the COVID-19 response from the state of Michigan. This premise is false. There is no proper laws in place for dealing with the COVID-19 “pandemic.” All we have had in our state is edicts and executive orders from an out of control governor.
The Spindlers also add, scoffingly, that if Sheriff Purcell and Sheriff Williams “want to make laws — they should run for the Legislature.”
Interesting that the Spindlers bring up going through the legislature in order to pass laws, as our beloved governor doesn’t seem to take that course either. The entire reaction and policies to COVID-19 in Michigan were, for all intents and purposes, through one person…Gretchen Whitmer.
The argument from the Spindlers opinion falls flat when you consider where the “laws” they are arguing to uphold originate from. We should be thankful that we have two local sheriffs that actually stand up for our personal freedoms and liberties. We are all letting or allowing too much power to be transferred to small centralized power groups at our state and federal levels of government.
Governors and presidents, especially in recent history, have more and more relied on executive orders to make “laws” of the land. Some of this is due to the obstructive hyper-political atmosphere carried into our legislative bodies, but most of it is due to power hungry leaders ruling an apathetic and ignorant population.
Sheriffs Todd Purcell and Ed Williams have nothing to be sorry for, and they are doing their jobs correctly. I only hope the next sheriffs in our area, following the elections, continue to uphold our personal freedoms and liberties as the current occupants are.
Our local sheriffs have done what they could to help and protect us from the overreach of a governor and administration that have done nothing but destroy Michigan much worse than any “pandemic” ever could.
