WAUSAU - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen met today with law enforcement leaders, elected officials, community leaders, judges, and public safety officials from throughout Marathon County at a law enforcement roundtable hosted by State Representative Jerry Petrowski, State Representative Scott Suder and State Representative Donna Seidel.
