this was a firms that founded in wisconsin by my father nearly 40 years ago, in a barn in waterloo, wisconsin. and today, trek employs nearly a thousand people, right here in wisconsin. they have been committed to wisconsin, they have been committed to the communities that they are located in. and certainly, to the nearly a thousand employees that work there and their families. and for scott walker to drag a great wisconsin, homegrown company through the mud for his political ambitions and purposes, shows a certain sign of desperation. i'm going to make sure as governor, i'm working with companies to understand the challenges that they face, make sure we have a great business climate, and that we are able to get enough jobs, as many jobs as we possibly can, back here in wisconsin. >> well, what would it take to get trek to move more of its jobs from overseas into wisconsin. what is it that's missing in the wisconsin business climate. >> well, every industry is different and trek isn't an industry that is dominated by people, by companies that source all of these bikes elsewhere. trek manufact

physicians, the wisconsin hospital association, the wisconsin public health association and the wisconsin medical society that stated, quote, this requirement interferes with the patient-physician relationship in places and i needed an unprecedented burden on wisconsin physicians and women. the effect of the hospital admitting privileges law is going to be to shut down, one, afford health centers that provide abortions because the physicians at the center or an eligible for these admitting requirements. that means that over one-third of the women who seek abortions are going to have to go elsewhere. the effect of that is to increase waiting times at the three remaining health centers. currently that our delays of three to four weeks to obtain an abortion in wisconsin with the closure of this clinic those delays will be extended to eight to 10 weeks. finally, we would have no health care provider providing abortions post-18 weeks, and so women who have complications are tragedies in pregnancies past 18 weeks left to go elsewhere. a delay of this magnitude clearly impacts all wisconsin wome

there'there is a consensus in wisconsin about what wisconsin wantwisconsinonce the legislatun and it isn't abortion restrictions, it is on the critical economic issues that face our state. we have a stagnant economy in wisconsin and stagnant wages. working families are struggling. those are the issues. we have over a dozen abortion restrictions which have nothing to do with health and safety of women and everything to do with politics. wisconsin is on the verge of becoming a state like mississippi where abortion is simply not accessible. a woman's ability to access legal abortion shouldn't be dependent on where she lives were subject to the political when of her state legislature and that's why i'm urging you to pass the women's health protection act. since we have seen a proliferation of abortion restrictions in wisconsin including restrictions on medication abortion and banning the telemedicine and requiring physicians to perform abortions to have hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles of practices and we also have the forced ultrasound bill. it's only impose on the physicia

i was at a golf tournament yesterday in sheboygan, wisconsin. the green bay packer hall of fame golf tournament. americans are basically happy people. we love tradition. we love to build friendships, relationships. we love to build traditions. we love to be around things that are positive. so tonight i think we have a story right in front of us, a topic that i think every american should be able to agree with. how about some good roads and some good bridges out there? rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure? we're not honest if we don't tell the truth about where we are with our infrastructure in this country. now, let's forget who's at fault. forget who's responsible for letting it get where it is. what are we going to do about it now? can we agree maybe we need to do something? because you see, as americans, we've always liked to build stuff. just think, president obama is hitting the road, he should. it's what presidents do, in an effort to build support for infrastructure funding. oh, back to the money already. 65% of the roads we drive in,

millions of dollars in wisconsin taxpayer dollars have been flushed overseas.cott walker doesn't want to boost up the american worker or wisconsin workers, he just wants to create a facade and get re-elect re-elected. and the companies that have received these benefits from the wisconsin economic development corporation have been contributors to his campaign. joining me tonight in our rapid response panel wisconsin state senator chris larson and also ruth coniff, editor in chief of the progressive magazine. great to have both of you with us. senator, what kind of investigation is going to take place in wisconsin on this when you have the republicans in power? >> yeah, there's likely not to be one. this is the chicken guard be the hen house. when this agency was created, the wedc, it was created under walker, under his supervision with republican senators and republican legislators guiding it and turning over control over what had been a very public part of government that invests money in businesses and turning it into a private public entity which has limited

today the wisconsin supreme court upheld that law and said it is constitutional. what role can or should the federal government have of that at this point? >> well, the federal government has a unique role in making sure that every citizen has the right to exercise that most fundamental of american rights, the right to vote. the '65 voting rights act is something we all hold dear, gutted by the shell by county decision but left certain parts of the voting rights in place. we used section 2 where a federal judge made the claims were valid and could not find an instance where the state could show an instance of border fraud which was kind of the underpinnings of the lawsuit, of the defense to the lawsuit in wisconsin. so we're going to use section 2 as we have in other states, in north carolina, in texas, we'll use it in wisconsin, we'll support the suits in wisconsin and ohio as well. >> woodruff: so this is going beyond filing court briefs? >> well, at this point, i guess with regard to what we've done in wisconsin and ohio, we're just filing briefs. cases have al

i took congressman ryan to running rebels in wisconsin in milwaukee. for the last eight years young men convicted the violent crimes, instead of sent to prison were sent to a local group where they were monitored by men every two hours they had to check in. some were ex-offenders. in the last eight years, these young men have 80% completed and are now working and some are working in good-paying jobs. it has saved the county $63 million over eight years. we gave them a mock check. so the point is this is a creative response where if you invest in some of these indigenous community-based associations that have been effective in transforming young men and women so the lives are redeemed, it's possible to expand that resource and do so at the cost of lowering of the public. it's possible to help more with less if you invest more wisely. >> are there neighborhood level ennovations that help people in that way? >> absolutely. the promise neighborhoods, the work in harlem. going back to the restoration corporation that i worked with, robert kennedy created it
