The following program is a PBS Wisconsin original production.

Robin Vos:

To improve the services that Wisconsinites receive and make sure that the money that they have overpaid is returned back to the taxpayers and that’s been the two priorities of this entire budget.

Frederica Freyberg:

Republicans take a victory lap after the state budget through both chambers. And just as the UW system’s funding is cut over its diversity offices, affirmative action in college admissions is struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” former governor and UW system president Tommy Thompson shares his vision for higher education. Charles Franklin has results from his latest Marquette Law School poll and we’ll get political takes on budget action at the Capitol from panelists Bill McCoshen and Scot Ross. It’s “Here & Now” on June 30.

Announcer:

Funding for “Here & Now” is provided by the Focus Fund for Journalism and Friends of PBS Wisconsin.
