Gov. Evers visits small businesses in Watertown, discusses TikTok ban

WATERTOWN, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Governor Tony Evers took a trip to Watertown Tuesday, Jan. 10 to meet with small businesses.

One of the shops, Pine Hill Farm: Natural Wellness Collective & Market, is a recipient of the Main Street Bounceback Grant Program which provides funding to businesses for leases, mortgages and other operational expenses.

While exploring Watertown, Gov. Evers talked about his intention to ban TikTok from government devices.

"We just wanted to make sure we touched bases with the people that knew what the dangers are," Evers said.

Gov. Evers was in contact with the FBI to determine if the app posed a security risk.

He is expected to sign an executive order banning the app sometime this week.
