Civil service overhaul heads to Scott Walker's desk after Senate passage
The state Senate has voted to remake Wisconsin’s civil service system, enabling a supportive Gov. Scott Walker to sign the measure – the latest far-reaching change to rules governing the state workforce.
The Senate voted on party lines, 19-14, late Wednesday to pass the civil service bill. The state Assembly passed it in October.
