Maybe those county sheriffs who defy the governor’s mandate regarding Covid-19 could approach it with a bit of artful subtlety instead of making divisive pronouncements. I’m reminded of one of my great-grandfathers who liked to “cook” a little batch now and again. When Bill Langer took office as the attorney general, he ordered sheriffs to start enforcing alcohol prohibition laws, something which met the favor of the WCTU. The sheriff of great-grandpa’s county chose some artful subtlety and called the people he’d targeted saying he had to come out and inspect for evidence of a still. With that warning, grandpa and his partner-in-crime had time to dismantle their still and hide it in the cupola of a barn. I suspect the sheriff was a popular law enforcement officer who satisfied everyone.
