[46]Hassett will actually do attorney general duties
Hassett will make up for what Van Hollen lacked.
The Daily Cardinal - October 29, 2010
The choice between sitting Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and his opponent
Scott Hassett was not a difficult one. Van Hollen has effectively been
campaigning not to receive our endorsement for the last four years. His list
of accomplishments is less impressive than Joe Pesci's in "My Cousin Vinny."
He dropped the ball on Calumet County's "sexting" District Attorney Ken
Kratz, who Van Hollen's office allowed to waft around courtrooms for months
following allegations of sexual harassment. Last year the Wisconsin
Department of Justice misplaced thousands of DNA samples, leading to the
possibility of up to 3,000 convicted felons walking free when they should
have been in jail.
