Congressman Ben Cline reintroduced the One Agency Act last Tuesday, a bill that proposes consolidating federal antitrust enforcement within the DOJ’s Antitrust Division. The Federal Trade Commission would remain an independent agency, focusing on its consumer protection mission. This consolidation aims to strengthen consumer protection law enforcement while streamlining antitrust oversight.
“For far too long, our antitrust enforcement has been plagued by bureaucratic infighting and delays that hinder competition,” Rep. Cline said. “These inefficiencies have allowed sophisticated entities to manipulate the system to their advantage, escaping accountability for their anti-competitive actions. It’s time we address these issues head-on. We need to streamline and reinforce our antitrust enforcement within the Justice Department. The Department is more directly accountable to the American people and is structured to deliver the decisive enforcement necessary to protect consumers and ensure a fair marketplace.”
Cline recently announced that his office will hold Casework Staff Mobile Office Hours in Fincastle.
A member of Congressman Ben Cline’s staff will hold casework staff mobile office hours at the Fincastle Library, 11 Academy Street, Fincastle, on Tuesday, January 28, 3-4 p.m. A staff member will be available to meet with citizens to assist with problems they might have with a federal agency and hear their views on current issues before Congress.
