WSJ: Talent Signs On With Auto Makers

From the Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire:
Jim Talent has signed on as a lobbyist for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the chief lobbying group that represents Detroit’s Big Three auto makers and Toyota Motor Corp. of Japan, among others.
His job: Speak out about pending fuel economy legislation pending in the U.S. Senate.
Talent says efforts to increase mileage rules could devastate millions of auto workers. “You’re talking about taking food, education and quality of life away from people who don’t have any other alternative,” he told reporters.
