Scott Walker won the Governership with stopping the construction of the Wisconsin leg of the high speed rail network as a central plank of his campaign.
Outgoing Gov Doyle called him on it and suspended work on the train after the election, and Walker is now backtracking on one of his central campaign promises before he even moves in to the Governers mansion.
A spokeswoman for Talgo, the U.S. unit of the Spanish firm Patentes Talgo, said that Walker told company officials that his decision to stop a proposed Madison-to-Milwaukee passenger rail line is "not final."
It seems to be playing out as another example of Republican short sighted rhetoric that nonetheless helps win votes, now being reneged upon as the real world results of their rhetoric become apparent.
