Gov. Scott Walker's First Moves in Office

Wisconsin's newly inaugurated Republican governor, Scott Walker, has been causing a stir in Wisconsin since he arrived on the campaign scene with his conservative perspective. Politically, Wisconsin has been a Democratic state for over a decade now, and many of it's conservative citizens were overjoyed to hear the plans that Gov. Walker had for us as he blazed along the campaign trail. Now, after his inauguration, he is making a number of the changes he promised he would -- much to the delight of his constituents.

Q- What is Gov. Walker's perspective on Wisconsin's high speed rail project, a burning issue for the state?

Q- How has Wisconsin's abused budget, badly in the red, recently been addressed by Gov. Walker?
