WILLAMSBURG, Va. (WSAU) - Governor Scott Walker says he wants to learn how other states are trying to improve their economies, when he attends a four-day meeting of the National Governors Association.

He also wants to attend committee meetings on workforce education and health-and-human services.Walker is vowing not to move forward with a statewide health insurance exchange, as required by the national health reform law which was upheld by the U-S Supreme Court last month.
