On January 11th at a special meeting of the Delta County Board of Commissioners, Commissioner David Moyle made an inflammatory statement by suggesting an armed militia be developed in the event the MDHHS orders for bar and restaurant closures continued past January 15th:
“My next step with these bar and restaurant owners, on Friday she’s gonna issue […] I’m going to advise them what I would do if I was a bar and restaurant owner, and that’s, it’s, ah we’ve taken, they’re literally gonna start losing property and things like that and I would strongly consider forming an active response militia of very well educated armed people to stand at my property line, um, very, I’m not talking redneck guys spitting tobacco with firearms but it’s coming to that point.”

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.
“I’m not advocating the formation of a militia to settle things with violence,” Moyle wrote.
The “fight we need to fight,” he said, is in Lansing and needs legislative involvement. “The fight will be best fought on paper not with bullets,” Moyle said. “Forming a militia was never my intent.”

MARQUETTE The Michigan Licensed Beverage Association said in a Tuesday Facebook post that it spoke with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s office and learned she will make an announcement today regarding the indoor dining ban related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The MLBA said the reopening likely would take place beginning Feb. 1 to give bar and restaurant owners time to work with their supply chains and figure out staffing.
It said the announcement would likely include a limited capacity and curfew, and then possibilities for restaurants that take additional health measures to have a higher capacity limit.
The COVID-19 order regarding indoor dining at bars and restaurants from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has been extended several times.
