Amish Family still Trying to Resolve Conflicting Views on Fillmore County Ordinance

November 17, 2014

Fillmmore County, Minnesota - An Amish couple from southeastern Minnesota will try next month to settle their zoning law dispute with Fillmore County. Ammon J. and Sarah J. Swartzentruber of Harmony have been cited for failing to get a permit for the home they're building. The couple refused because they say it meant they would have to install a septic system, a modern convenience not permitted by their religious beliefs.

The couple appeared at a hearing Wednesday to answer to three misdemeanor charges. Both have pleaded not guilty.
