Layoffs rescinded, governor to sign bill

Layoff notices to 1,500 state employees have been rescinded by Gov. Scott Walker because of the passage of his budget bill on Thursday. Walker also announced on Friday morning that he will sign the budget bill sometime on Friday, with the signing open to the media.

“The time and details of the bill signing are still to be announced,” said Wisconsin State Journal reporter Mary Spicuzza, after talking with Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie.
