LANSING - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel joined a bipartisan coalition of 45 attorneys general in sending a letter to congressional leaders requesting the federal government to provide the necessary funding to support state antitrust enforcement efforts. The investigation and enforcement of alleged antitrust conduct is more complex and resource-intensive than ever before, Nessel said. States require more funding sources to ensure long-term capabilities to enforce state and federal antitrust laws that protect consumers and businesses. I urge Congress to support our efforts.
