Emperor Polis (D) CO has once again issued draconian COVID-19 restrictions. In my county, Weld, the County Commissioners are on record as will not comply.
My landlord, Weld County Housing Authority, on the other hand is all in. I’m sure somewhere someone whispered in their ear about State funding not forthcoming.
What next, hall monitors to insure we don’t visit each others apartments?
Just to be clear, my rent is NOT subsidized. I pay full bore. That is probably less than current market value.
As I returned from walking Banner this morning, the Manager came out of his office and asked me my opinion. I gave him my opinion.

So many people are just letting this go on, and on, and give me the: "well it's for our own good", and "I don't want to risk it" and "I'm elderly".
Well guess what I'm elderly, I'm not following unconstitutional mandates, and am perfectly capable of making my own decisions about my life style.
Wish we had more like Sheriff Tex...

STATEMENT FROM SHERIFF TEX DOWDY REGARDING CALIFORNIA’S LIMITED STAY AT HOME ORDER
Modoc County has 26 active cases of COVID-19. Modoc County Public Health has been managing this health emergency. Today, the Governor announced a statewide Limited Stay at Home Order for counties in the “Purple” tier on his blueprint for reducing COVID-19, that will be in affect from 11/21/2020 to 12/21/2020. Modoc County is currently in the "Red" tier.
After many inquiries and the social angst that we have today, I want Modoc County residents to know that in no way will the Modoc County Sheriff’s Office be enforcing this health order or others that may follow. It is my belief that curfews and travel restrictions directed to our residents touch upon fundamental constitutional rights and thus are subject to strict judicial scrutiny. I will not restrict the movement of free citizens nor will I ask my deputies to.
Over the course of 8 months, the Governor has asked us to adapt, adjust and improve to help reduce the spread. We have followed his goals and roads to recovery and ever changing curve. It is unrealistic, unsustainable and irresponsible to ask California residents to shut down again. Our economic and mental health are just as important as our physical health.
I fully support our local health officials and feel that it would be in the best interest of our residents to be able to respond to this pandemic at the local level. The blanket mandates put out by the state simply do not work for a County such as ours. I am confident that Modoc County residents can and will make responsible decisions on their own to protect themselves from this virus. Having this choice is their right as Americans.
Our staff will not be regulating compliance, enforcing emergency orders related to curfews, travel, holidays or social gatherings. Furthermore, we do not have the resources to focus on such calls of these complaints. As always, if there is a potential for criminal activity or a situation impacts public safety, we will respond appropriately.
The County is working collaboratively with partners to minimize public anxiety and keep everyone informed and educated about practices that will reduce the spread of the virus. For updated information about the COVID-19 incident, visit the Modoc County Public Health website at https://modochealthservices.org/corona-virus
Please take the normal precautions that you would during any flu season. We will continue to work with our County partners and our focus will always be the safety of our residents. We ask all of our residents and visitors to be responsible, be patient and be kind to one another.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving Holiday.

Sensible sheriff. I bet the majority of rural sheriffs feel the same.

More and more are gonna say-
"Homey don't play dat."

Heh, did you manage to NOT use too many four letter words?

Just pissed off. He understood, while I don't blame him for following orders, I'm disgusted with his supervisors.

I'm afraid Shaun over at Naval Air Cowman has called the situation mostly correctly. Don't agree with his 99%, more like 95%.

Good, but no rib roast!
