On March 19, COSAL signed on to a letter applauding Senator Amy Klobuchar for leading the effort to fully fund the Antitrust Division. Without adequate funding for strong enforcement, consumers and small businesses suffer. The letter states in part: We write to thank you for your ongoing efforts to protect and expand funding for the Department of Justice Antitrust Division. The DOJ Antitrust Division plays a crucial role in policing anti-competitive conduct that undermines competition and harms consumers. Although the funding that Congress has allocated to the Division has long been insufficient, the Division has nonetheless fought aggressively and successfully in recent years to curb monopolistic behavior.1 Like many Americans, we were alarmed that critical funding for the DOJ Antitrust Division was quietly stripped during the appropriations process earlier this month. We stand with your efforts to restore full funding to the Division,2 which is sorely needed in light of increasing demands on its capacity. Read the full letter at cosal.org.
