MADISON, WI (WTAQ) â A local lawmaker is optimistic that legislation regarding personal decisions to get vaccines and freedom to worship will receive the governorâs signature.
State Senator Andre Jacque says citizens have a fundamental right to expect their freedoms will be respected by government officials at all levels.
âVery basic constitutional protections that weâre looking to make sure are enshrined in state law,â Jacque told WTAQ News. âI think it comes down to not using the heavy hand of government, but actual communication and trust with the public.â
One of the bills is Assembly Bill 23/Senate Bill 4, which demands respect for vaccination decision-making. It would ensure that Public Health Officers and the Department of Health Services cannot require vaccinations or proof of vaccination for COVID-19.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) Questions are continuing to be raised over the handling of the November Election in Green Bay.
State Senator Andre Jacque (R-De Pere) is joining a call by other Republicans to investigate the election after recently released emails show a significant amount of influence from a left-leaning private group, The Center for Tech and Civic Life, on the operation of the November election.
“The trail of emails speaks for itself,” Jacque told WTAQ. “It is unbelievable the lack of trust the Green Bay City Clerk had with what was going on between the Mayors Office and this outside group.”
