Kyle Rittenhouse has to stop drinking and stay away from anyone who is a ‘known white supremacist’ if he wants to stay out of jail. The judge in his case changed the terms of Rittenhouse’s bond.

Eau Claire’s hospitals are asking for patience as more people 65 and older now become eligible for the coronavirus vaccine. Department of Health Services Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dyke cautioned that doesn’t mean everyone in that age group will be able to get vaccinated right away: Officials at Marshfield Clinic say they’ve already started vaccinating people 65 and over, but it’s by appointment only.  HSHS Sacred Heart is also vaccinating people 65-plus.

Republicans in the Assembly plan to add some of their ideas into the plan from Senate Republicans that passed earlier this month. Governor Evers has said he will sign the Senate proposal. Assembly Republican Joe Sanfelippo says they want more protections for businesses, schools, and churches in whatever package is sent to the governor.

 Wisconsin is getting ready to go to court over forever chemicals. Governor Tony Evers on Friday asked the state’s attorney general to start looking for an outside law firm to represent the state. Forever chemicals, or PFAS chemicals, are in all sorts of things but are most known for their use in firefighting foam. The governor says PFAS chemicals are polluting water and soil across the state.
