Wis. Gov. Walker Preps 6th 'State Of The State'

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker is expected to focus, in part, on education and job training when he delivers his sixth State of the State address.

The governor has said a portion of the annual speech Tuesday night to a joint session of the Legislature will focus on getting people, even teens, trained for jobs.

Walker's address isn't expected to have quite the buzz as last year when the governor was considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination. Walker ended his campaign in September. And, by November, a Marquette University Law School poll showed his approval rating at about 38 percent.

Democratic legislative leaders say they want to hear bold plans from Walker on strengthening the middle class and improving the state's infrastructure.
