Trek Bikes makes Walker Blacklist, and now a reelection campaign target.

Since Scott Walker ran for governor, he’s made it clear there were good businesses and bad ones. Add another one to the blacklist of bad businesses. It’s a big reason why the states job growth has been miserable.

Maley said his agency won't mothball these promos of the Wisconsin-based firms permanently, he said. "They may surface every now and then…”

As Dan Bice noted: Don't look for Trek to be a part of it.
