At their Board meeting on Tuesday, the Faribault County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution that supports the rights of citizens of the County to freely avail themselves of the rights expounded within the constitution and the Board acknowledges the ability of individuals and businesses of Faribault County to determine the best course of action to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The resolution also supports the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that prohibits the state from depriving any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law and in accordance with federal and state law. The county will not of its own accord, abridge such freedoms and rights.
Commissioners Young, Anderson and Loveall voted yes and Groskreutz and Roper voted no.
