Governor Scott Walker is rescinding the layoff notices sent to prosecutors' offices around the state.
As Action 2 News reported this week, the Association of State Prosecutors rejected the state's request for six furlough days for assistant district attorneys. As a result, the State said it was going to cut state their time and benefits 20 percent, effective Monday.
In a statement Friday afternoon, Governor Walker said prosecutors' offices will receive their personnel funding for the rest of the fiscal year and said his administration will work to "ensure that prosecutors are not furloughed and receive the funding necessary to pursue justice."
The move came after D.A.'s offices statewide raised major concerns.
