Announcer:
The following program is a PBS Wisconsin original production.

Frederica Freyberg:
A new year ushers in a new legislature at the state Capitol and a new Congress in Washington but echoes of an insurrection four years ago reverberate in today’s political divide.
I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” we take a closer look at the core issue growing that political divide. Then a new federal rule that could ease the impact of medical debt. News of hospital closures rocked central Wisconsin one year ago. How is the area faring? And the threat of a declining population has experts looking 25 years into the future? It’s “Here & Now” for January 10.
