MADISON (WKOW) -- A bus tour calling out the Koch Brothers rolled through Madison Wednesday.
The liberal PAC calling itself "Patriot Majority USA" is behind the "Stop The Koch Brothers Greed Agenda" tour.
Organizers say the tour is designed to educate the public about who Charles and David Koch are, and how they're spending their millions to promote anti-middle class legislation like in states like Wisconsin.
Former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk (D) joined Patriot Majority USA organizers at a news conference at the Labor Temple.
"Should billionaires like the Koch Brothers decide our day-to-day rights, right here in Wisconsin," asked Falk. "Like what kind of schools our kids go to, whether we have a safe workplace and a decent wage?"
The brothers own Koch Industries, the second largest privately held company in the United States, and have contributed millions of dollars to Republican candidates and conservative policy initiatives.
