L’ANSE A letter from Baraga County officials denouncing COVID-19 restrictions within the county earlier this week made the rounds across the Upper Peninsula.
The letter, signed by Baraga County Sheriff Joe Brogan and eight other county officials, called out the state of Michigan’s coronavirus restrictions and stated that the county no longer has the “intention of participating in the unconstitutional destruction of our citizens’ economic security and Liberty.
“We further declare our intention to take no action whatsoever in furtherance of this terribly misguided agenda,” the letter continued.
Baraga County Memorial Hospital in L’Anse responded to the letter Thursday, reassuring hospital patients that it’s still safe to visit the facility if need be.
