Because in reality, power starts at the local level and goes upwards. If your local sheriff chooses to enforce or not enforce laws, there's nothing a governor can do.
A Governor can fire a Sheriff
We're in FL homie, sheriff is an elected position, it is independent of governors authority.
Then what was the talk of firing Sheriff israel after Parkland/
It really depends. A governor may be able to fire your sheriff, depending on how your State’s constitution and/or laws is/are worded. Generally speaking, county sheriff is an elected position at the county level that is independent of the governor’s authority at the state level.
