I'll admit I don't know which side is telling the truth. Talgo says using their equipment will save $12 Million every year, WDOT says using Amtrak equipment will save $10 Million every year. That's a $24 Million swing. Also that I haven't kept up how much a maintenance facility including any track upgrades will cost in Wisconsin

But what I do know is that the money spent by Wisconsin for Talgo maintenance employees stays in Wisconsin while the money spent for Amtrak maintenance employees will go to Illinois. And that the Milwaukee mayor would prefer that same money was spent in Milwaukee.
