Wheeler is reaching out to the public and seeking comment on some of the pressing legal issues the community sees in Orleans County.
“What are some of the law enforcement challenges facing Orleans county?” Wheeler asked.
He plans to to have Ms. Barrett address some of these issues. Anyone who wishes to contact Wheeler and get their question asked during the interview can contact him through his Facebook page by clicking here.
