PASCO, Wash. -- Franklin County Sheriff J.D. Raymond says he will not be enforcing Gov. Jay Inslee's "stay at home" orders nor "guidelines that infringe on your constitutional rights."
The move comes as Franklin County commissioners voted to ignore Inslee's order, county-wide, according to a Facebook post by county commissioner Clint Didier.
It's a move the governor's office stresses is illegal.
Raymond opened a two-page letter to his constituents Monday by declaring he does believe COVID-19 is real and "needs to be dealt with appropriately."

Big news, happened today.
This is the 4th largest metro area of Washington State. It is Red State.
Home to Agriculture, Hanford Nuclear, High Tech
I need Dramanine just to watch Dimslee’s mouth go all over the place.
And the Hanford High School Bombers
The wall is beginning to crumple! Enough is enough. Do these tyrants really think the are going to stop people going out in the summer months? The curve is bent, we have passed the crises. The crises that now needs to be dealt is the rebuilding.
Red states, red counties, unite, fight!
The ee of liberty is mighty thirsty......
The tree of liberty is mighty thirsty......
Seems this patriotism is in extremely short supply.
It has felt that way, but there seems to be some momentum gathering now.
Indeed.
It’s a move the governor’s office stresses is illegal.”
Yeah the sheriff is the one breaking the law. The worst of it is the a-holes in WA would probably re-elect Inslee.
This is where the rubber hits the road
these liberal idiots have to have the cops and force their stupid doctrines
and the cops are all pro- freedom pro - loving pro - firearm patriots
great news...
I expect the other sheriffs in the other Eastern WA sheriffs to follow suit.
our nitwit commie AG is pretty vindicative, napoleon-complex type... expect lawsuits soon.
You can’t reason with the liberals in this state, they don’t understand because so many work for big tech or they are on the dole, they can’t understand working or owning a business.
Please!!! Inslee, try and force yourself upon us....PLEASE..
I’m proud to say that Sheriff Raymond, Commissioner Clint Didier and I all played college football for the Columbia Basin College Hawks in 78!
BTW, Didier played in the NFL for 7 years, 5 with the Redskins and 2 with the Packers and has 2 SB championships with the Skins.
“Do these tyrants really think the are going to stop people going out in the summer months?”
Especially in WA State where the summers are painfully short.
Interesting!
Hopefully the neighboring counties join the cause. Wouldn’t be surprised if they do.
