Talgo CEO Has Some Choice Words for Scott Walker and State Republicans

Spanish train manufacturer Talgo, Inc. is now suing the state of Wisconsin for reneging on contracts. The company's CEO, Antonio Perez, had some choice words for our Scott Walker and his cronies.

"We invested in the State of Wisconsin by building a manufacturing facility in Milwaukee and creating manufacturing jobs. We built the trains and otherwise performed our obligations under our agreements with the State of Wisconsin. In return, rather than being 'open for business' the State used every conceivable excuse, whether fair or not and whether lawful or not, to ensure that Talgo did not receive what it bargained for, including by refusing to pay for the trains that Talgo completed. I don't see how any company would in the future choose to do business with the State of Wisconsin when the State has shown that it cannot be trusted to honor contracts that it signed."
