SHAWANO, WI (WTAQ) — The Shawano County Sheriff has emerged as a vocal opponent of Governor Tony Evers ‘Safer at Home’ order.
Sheriff Adam Beiber wrote last week to Governor Evers that he won’t enforce certain aspects of the order, arguing it’s a violation of constitutional rights.
“There are parts of this order that directly infringe on our constitution,” Beiber said while appearing Tuesday on WTAQ’s ‘The John Muir Show’. “Not only is it my job to uphold the law, it’s my job to uphold our rights also.”
Beiber is particularly concerned about church services being prohibited under the order, something he says violates the first amendment.
“Anybody who knows how to read can see there’s a conflict there,” Beiber told host John Muir.
“I think our government should give us the information and we can decide what to do with that information,” he added.
The Governor’s ‘Safer at Home’ order has been extended until May 28th.
