Walker To Talgo: "No."

Scott Walker tells WTMJ-TV4 and Charlie Sykes today that the train either dies now or in January.

So there you have it. Kiss those jobs goodbye.

Over what in the big picture is a pittance.

Rowen - how do explain all the rail related referendums last week going down in absolute flames?

The people have spoken - they simply and emphatically do not want your choo-choo train projects.

You repeatedly over estimate the number of jobs related to the assembly of train sets.

Let them go, it isn't worth the price of the train.

I would get more excited if the train was true high speed rail. But of course that would be very expensive.

And to top it all off, the Walker camp points the finger at Talgo for misinterpreting his idiotic tapdancing. International investors must be chomping at the bit to do business in Wisconsin after this clown show.

No Knarly, if they wanted to do business here (outside of subsidized work), Doyle would have already lured them here.

The trains are merely being assembled here. Not built here.

Nice try though.

The tracks - same story. Assembled by a portable crew, cast in Washington state.

No real jobs here.
