Farm groups filed a lawsuit against Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, after he hired an environmental prosecutor paid by outside funds.
The complaint, posted by Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR), states that Kaul hired Karen Heineman last year as a special assistant attorney general to focus on prosecuting people and businesses violating the Badger State’s environmental regulations. Heineman’s position, however, is funded through the State Energy and Environmental Impact Center at New York University Law School, which was started in 2017 with a $5.6 million grant from Michael Bloomberg’s nonprofit.
