In the same week that coronavirus deaths in the U.S. hit another one-day high at over 4,300, officials in two Upper Peninsula counties spoke out in opposition to the shutdown regulations.
First, the Delta County Board on Jan. 11 announced it passed a resolution making Delta County a sanctuary county for businesses affected by the COVID-19 shutdowns.
In a Facebook post, Commissioner David Moyle said he spoke on the phone with Delta County Sheriff Ed Oswald.
