GET ME REWRITE: 3 big conservative Wisconsin state legislators with nothing better to do



GOP resurrects bill to make English official language.  Wisconsin State Journal, 172020)
Previously introduced in 2009 and 2013.  Sens. Andre Jacque, Dave Craig and Steve Nass began circulating the bill for co-sponsors Monday. The trio is among the most conservative members of the Republican majority. The proposal would declare English as Wisconsin’s official language and require all state and local government officials to write all their documents in English. The bill would allow for the use of other languages in certain situations, including to protect a citizen’s health or safety, to teach another language, to facilitate census counts and to protect criminal defendants’ rights. The measure wouldn’t restrict the use of other languages for non-governmental purposes.
