The Koch bothers are starting to grab control, via clients they support in their business. What else can explain this obvious coincidence:
CapTimes: The Kansas-based new owners of Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Co. want to make one thing perfectly clear: Their purchase is a railroad deal, pure and simple. "We're poised to help the economy of Wisconsin take off," says Ed McKechnie, spokesman for Watco Transportation Services.
But given the political activity of WSOR founder Bill Gardner — who has admitted to $70,000 in illegal and excessive campaign contributions to Gov. Scott Walker and others and was sentenced to two years' probation — some wondered if there was more to the story. And a quick Google search reveals a link between Watco and Koch Industries, the Wichita-based natural resources conglomerate: Koch is the largest customer of Watco and the Koch brothers have been big Walker supporters.
