This week on "Here & Now," we talk with Governor Scott Walker about his special session of the legislature where his bills designed to boost the business climate in Wisconsin are sailing through. We also interview U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy from Washington on the heels of his vote to repeal the healthcare reform law. And this week, we hear from a candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Marla Stephens, director of the appellate division for the state public defender's office.

I invite you to join me for "Here and Now" Friday at 7:30p on Wisconsin Public Television.

Governor Jim Doyle this week announced the "Transitional Jobs Project," designed to give unemployed people skills and work experience. It targets people who are not eligible for working family assistance through the state's W-2 program, according to the Governor's office. The $34 million program is funded by federal stimulus dollars. It is a pilot project starting in 38 counties with possible future expansion. Seventeen local organizations, like Goodwill Industries in Milwaukee and Kenosha and Indianhead Community Action Agency in northern counties will take part. The Secretary of the Department of Children and Families, Reggie Bicha, will appear on "Here & Now" this Friday, July 16, to detail the project.
