Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen Attended Americans For Prosperity Conventions. According to PR Watch, “David<br />
Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity conventions in <strong>Wisconsin</strong> over the past two years may have helped lay the<br />
groundwork for the state's controversial battle over labor rights and budget cuts. The conventions featured leading figures in<br />
the right-wing's attack on workers, and may also have skirted disclosure rules in the process. Governor Scott Walker and<br />
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen appeared when they were running for office, and both conventions featured <strong>Wisconsin</strong><br />
Supreme Court Justice David T. Prosser, Jr., whose race with challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg will come to an end with<br />
Tuesday's state-wide election.” [PR Watch, 4/4/11]<br />
