Related: About this forumOne Wisconsin files complaint against former Rep. Suder
/snip/
Within a day of going on the fishing trip, Suder downplayed his relationship with United Sportsmen to the Journal Sentinel in an interview for a previous story, saying that his closeness to the group had "absolutely no bearing" on his work on their grant. He also said then that he wasn't aware that his former chief of staff, Luke Hilgemann, was listed as an educator for United Sportsmen Foundation on the grant.
But days before Suder made that denial, he was copied on an email that made clear Hilgemann was a board member for the United Sportsmen Foundation, the records show.
Hilgemann recently left his job overseeing and lobbying for the Wisconsin chapter of Americans for Prosperity to take a job in Washington, D.C., as the No. 2 executive for the group, which favors conservative economic policies.
The day after the last day of the trip, Aug. 24, a Saturday, the United Sportsmen Foundation held a board meeting in the state Capitol. They were able to meet there because Sen. Tom Tiffany (R-Hazelhurst) had reserved a room for Meyer, who lives in his district.
