Elk Mound farmer leads bid against state laws that he says infringes rights
Elk Mound resident Harry Svee circulates a petition protesting Dunn County Board enforcement of existing and proposed laws he claims conflict with state and national constitutions. He cites wetlands mapping and SB 72 as examples and notes political backlash from Rep. Richard Shoemaker. Svee, a 41 year old sheet metal worker and farmer with 160 acres, argues constitutional rights are being eroded and considers moving his family if landowner freedoms decline.
