--- Quote ---Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb said he won’t enforce the penalties. Lamb said the governor’s order seemingly conflicts with the U.S. Constitution.

Mohave County Sheriff Doug Schuster, at Thursday's Board of Supervisors meeting, said his deputies are not going to be the "social distancing police."

... Schuster said. "I am not going to make criminals out of law abiding citizens that are struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table."
...
Friday afternoon, a spokeswoman for the Gila County Sheriff’s Office told ABC15, "We are encouraging people to follow CDC guidelines, but we will not be arresting anyone or closing any businesses."

Pinal County is between the counties in which Phoenix and Tucson are located. Gila County is the county east of the county in which Phoenix is located. Mohave County is the northwest corner of Arizona. While not without significant cities, these counties are largely rural.

That is correct.  Ducey is not acting in agreement with us, he's doing it at the prodding of the leftist big cities in Maricopa and Pima (Phoenix and Tucson, respectively).  Those counties should probably have different rules than Mohave, Gila and Pinal.
