Sheriff Villanueva is very out in the public, but I suspect far from alone among CA's 58 county sheriffs (the MSM hardly know that Modoc and Lassen Counties exist, so their sheriffs wouldn't get MSM coverage ... for which I'm sure they're grateful).
LIEden's vax mandate could never have worked, is and will continue to be couter-productive (from his POV), and picked unwinnable fights with more professions and unions than I could call to mind. It exemplifies the fact that LIEden and his Krew are a Clue-Free Zone attempting to rule over DC and the US.
I thought LIEden and Krew were smart enough not to go full-vax-mandate, but I badly underestimated their clue-free stupidity. I do not think the current mess will end soon or well.
