Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers' Johnson's State of the State address is coming up next week on February 17. 

When La Crosse Talk's Sean Dwyer asked him for a preview of what he's planning to say, the governor provided a succinct reply, "No."

The rest of the interview went a little better. 

Evers spoke about PFAS legislation and trying to get a bill to sign this year along with working on a plan on prescription drug prices. 

He also mentioned discussions with Republicans in the state legislature regarding property tax reform. 

The governor's replies were a bit more scathing when the subject of President Trump's proposal regarding federal takeover of elections, saying the states are doing a "horrible" job of running elections. "That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard," the governor said. He called it an insult to the thousands of people around the state who take pride in running the elections.  He said our system works well. 

Evers talked about what's happening in Minnesota and his contact with Governor Tim Walz. "He's done an amazing job keeping as many people safe as possible. Obviously, we've had a couple of deaths up there that are just horrific. If you think about the purpose of what all this is about and having two people killed as a result of this is just wrong-headed."

He later said, "He's a fighter, he's not going to give. He's someone we need to thank for his good work."

Lastly, the governor reminisces about growing up in his hometown of Plymouth, Wisconsin, the cheese capital of the world.
