After hearing word that Governor Pat Quinn wrote a letter to persuade Milwaukee train-maker Talgo Inc. to leave Wisconsin for greener pastures in Illinois, Wisconsin's Governor-elect Scott Walker is vowing to persuade Illinois companies to head for the Badger State in order to avoid the tax increases Quinn has promised to put in place.

Illinois' income tax after the governor's proposed increase would be 4 percent compared to Wisconsin's, which ranges from 4.6 to 7.75 percent.
