MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker plans to sign the right-to-work bill on Monday at a Milwaukee-area company whose leader spoke out in favor of the measure this week. Walker announced Friday that he will sign the bill at Badger Meter in Brown Deer. Badger Meter’s chief executive and chairman Rich Meeusen this week said passing the bill will lead to between 30 and 50 new jobs at his factory. He spoke out after a coalition of more than 400 businesses joined together in opposition to the proposal. The Assembly passed it Friday morning on a party line vote with all Republicans in favor and all Democrats against.
