Two Wisconsin sheriffs have spoken out against Gov. Tony Evers’ extension of the Safer at Home order and asked the governor to develop other plans for reopening Wisconsin’s economy. On Thursday, Evers said non-essential businesses must stay closed until May 26 to slow the spread of the coronavirus. While Evers and state health officials have maintained that continuing the Safer at Home order is essential to help Wisconsin manage the spread of COVID-19, others throughout the state have grown tired and wary of extending the order until late May. Dodge County Sheriff Dale J. Schmidt wrote in a news release Saturday that the pandemic has left Wisconsinites with “little hope.” On Friday afternoon, Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling wrote on Facebook that he will not be enforcing Gov. Evers’ Safer at Home order. Schmaling said he plans to leave the enforcement of the order up to health department experts. Schamling says state law does not have the power to supersede or suspend the Constitutional rights of American citizens.
