Gov. Scott Walker would sign a bill repealing the states prevailing wage if it passes the Legislature, his spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Laurel Patrick made the comments as an Assembly committee heard testimony on a repeal bill, which the committee later approved 5-4.
Walker has said prevailing wage wasnt a priority, and he has faced criticism from fellow Republicans for not more forcefully backing the legislation.
Rep. Andre Jacque, R-De Pere, chairman of the Assembly labor committee, said he decided to schedule the Wednesday public hearing and vote a little more than 24 hours in advance so the measure could be considered by the Legislatures Joint Finance Committee as it drafts the last pieces of the state budget this week. Jacque said he would also support the measure as a standalone bill.

Just think, though. Your former "progressive" state is now in a race for "most fucked up state" with Kansas and Texas. That took some doing!
