SHERIFF: Cause for concern

In the article about Sheriff Wolfinger (April 14), words in parenthesis mentioned Sheriff Wheeler. If these words WERE said by Sheriff Wolfinger, it was very unprofessional. If they weren’t said by him and were put in the article by someone from the Coeur d’Alene Press, then that individual was even more unprofessional and maybe should confine their “writings” to the Opinion page.

If any one of the above-mentioned individuals had actually read Sheriff Wheeler’s letter to Governor Little, they would have seen that nowhere in that letter did Sheriff Wheeler say he would not enforce the laws of Idaho! To infer otherwise is, again, UNPROFESSIONAL!

Editor’s note: That was part of a column by Dave Oliveria. The sentence read: “Unlike another sheriff in the region (cough, Darryl Wheeler of Bonner County), Ben considers Gov. Little’s shelter-in-place order to be legal.”
