  • Comments of the Maine Attorney General

    Comments of the Maine Attorney General

    COMMENTS OF THE MAINE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON THE ROLE OF STATES IN ENFORCING FEDERAL ANTITRUST LAWS OUTSIDE THE MERGER AREA July 15, 2005 Attorney General G. Steven Rowe is grateful for the opportunity to present these views in response to the Commission’s request for public comment, 70 Fed. Reg. 28,902 (May 19, 2005).1 Summary The Sherman Act supplemented rather than preempted preexisting state statutes, creating a system of concurrent authority grounded in federalism. Maine has brought approximately twenty-five enforcement actions in each of the last two decades, under state and federal law, in both state and federal court. Maine’s antitrust record over the past twenty years illustrates the benefits and value of concurrent state enforcement. The Maine Attorney General has contributed special knowledge of local conditions to cooperative enforcement endeavors with federal agencies and brought actions to address violations of which federal agencies were unaware and with which they might have been ill- equipped to deal. Our antitrust experience has also enabled us to mount rapid-response advocacy or negotiating efforts involving local matters affecting competition in critical ways. Finally, acting as parens patriae, the Maine Attorney General has recovered very substantial sums in restitution and damages for consumers and citizens. 1 This document was prepared with the help of Maine antitrust staff, Assistant Attorneys General Francis Ackerman and Christina Moylan. We acknowledge the valuable assistance of Robert Hubbard, Chair of the National Association of Attorneys General Antitrust Task Force and Chief of Litigation in the New York Attorney General’s Antitrust Bureau. His contribution, and those of other state antitrust staff who have commented on prior drafts, are greatly appreciated.

    VAWA”) Has Shined a Bright Light on Domestic Violence, Bringing the Issue out of the Shadows and Into the Forefront of Our Efforts to Protect Women and Families

    January 11, 2012 Dear Members of Congress, Since its passage in 1994, the Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA”) has shined a bright light on domestic violence, bringing the issue out of the shadows and into the forefront of our efforts to protect women and families. VAWA transformed the response to domestic violence at the local, state and federal level. Its successes have been dramatic, with the annual incidence of domestic violence falling by more than 50 percent1. Even though the advancements made since in 1994 have been significant, a tremendous amount of work remains and we believe it is critical that the Congress reauthorize VAWA. Every day in this country, abusive husbands or partners kill three women, and for every victim killed, there are nine more who narrowly escape that fate2. We see this realized in our home states every day. Earlier this year in Delaware, three children – ages 12, 2 ½ and 1 ½ − watched their mother be beaten to death by her ex-boyfriend on a sidewalk. In Maine last summer, an abusive husband subject to a protective order murdered his wife and two young children before taking his own life. Reauthorizing VAWA will send a clear message that this country does not tolerate violence against women and show Congress’ commitment to reducing domestic violence, protecting women from sexual assault and securing justice for victims. VAWA reauthorization will continue critical support for victim services and target three key areas where data shows we must focus our efforts in order to have the greatest impact: • Domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual assault are most prevalent among young women aged 16-24, with studies showing that youth attitudes are still largely tolerant of violence, and that women abused in adolescence are more likely to be abused again as adults.

    Commission Meeting 05/27/2020 STATE OF MAINE Agenda Item #2 COMMISSION ON GOVERNMENTAL ETHICS AND ELECTION PRACTICES 135 STATE HOUSE STATION AUGUSTA, MAINE 04333-0135 To: Commission From: Jonathan Wayne, Executive Director Michael Dunn, Esq., Political Committee and Lobbyist Registrar Date: May 20, 2020 Re: Request by Mr. John Jamieson to Investigate Polling by U.S. Senator Susan Collins Maine Election Law regulates funds, goods and services (e.g., polling) received by someone for the purpose of deciding whether to become a candidate for state office. If the person subsequently runs for office, the candidate must disclose the funds, goods and services as contributions in their first campaign finance report. They are subject to the same dollar amount limitations as contributions received after the individual becomes a candidate. The person must also disclose any payments made for the purpose of deciding whether to become a candidate. In 2017, U.S. Senator Susan Collins was giving consideration to running for Governor of Maine. Mr. John Jamieson of South Portland requests that the Commission investigate whether she received polling services that exceeded the $1,600 limitation applicable at that time. Sen. Collins responds that the polling was paid for by Collins for Senate (her U.S. Senate re-election committee) for a federal campaign purpose and she did not violate Maine Election Law. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS Standard for Opening a Requested Investigation The Election Law authorizes the Commission to receive requests for investigation and to conduct an investigation “if the reasons stated for the request show sufficient grounds for believing that a violation may have occurred”: A person may apply in writing to the commission requesting an investigation as described in subsection 1.

In this period of economic turmoil, these consumer protections are more important than ever. While the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s recent announcement suggests that it will not enforce the FCRA’s 30- or 45-day deadline to investigate consumer disputes requirements during the COVID-19 crisis,1 the undersigned state Attorneys General are committed to protecting consumers in our states and will continue to enforce all federal and state requirements during this crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant economic disruption. Across the nation, businesses are closing, and millions of workers face lost wages or unemployment.

    January 12, 2021 The Honorable Jeffrey A. Rosen Acting Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear Acting Attorney General Rosen: We, the undersigned state attorneys general, are committed to the protection of public safety, the rule of law, and the U.S. Constitution. We are appalled that on January 6, 2021, rioters invaded the U.S. Capitol, defaced the building, and engaged in a range of criminal conduct—including unlawful entry, theft, destruction of U.S. government property, and assault. Worst of all, the riot resulted in the deaths of individuals, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer, and others were physically injured. Beyond these harms, the rioters’ actions temporarily paused government business of the most sacred sort in our system—certifying the result of a presidential election. We all just witnessed a very dark day in America. The events of January 6 represent a direct, physical challenge to the rule of law and our democratic republic itself. Together, we will continue to do our part to repair the damage done to institutions and build a more perfect union. As Americans, and those charged with enforcing the law, we must come together to condemn lawless violence, making clear that such actions will not be allowed to go unchecked. Thank you for your consideration of and work on this crucial priority. Sincerely Phil Weiser Karl A. Racine Colorado Attorney General District of Columbia Attorney General Lawrence Wasden Douglas Peterson Idaho Attorney General Nebraska Attorney General Steve Marshall Clyde “Ed” Sniffen, Jr. Alabama Attorney General Acting Alaska Attorney General Mark Brnovich Leslie Rutledge Arizona Attorney General Arkansas Attorney General Xavier Becerra William Tong California Attorney General Connecticut Attorney General Kathleen Jennings Ashley Moody Delaware Attorney General Florida Attorney General Christopher M.

In a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the coalition contends that social media can be detrimental to children for myriad reasons and that Facebook has historically failed to protect the welfare of children on its platforms. “Research shows that social media use by our young children is detrimental to their development and mental health, which means companies such as Facebook should strive to protect them from harm rather than benefit from their vulnerabilities,” said Attorney General Connors. “I urge Facebook to consider the well-researched evidence of harm that a social media platform targeting children under the age of 13 could cause and to abandon further development.” In their letter, the attorneys general express various concerns over Facebook’s proposal, including research that social media can be harmful to the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children; rapidly worsening concerns about cyber bullying on Instagram; use of the platform by predators to target children; Facebook’s checkered record in protecting the welfare of children on its platforms; and children’s lack of capacity to navigate the complexities of what they encounter online, including advertising, inappropriate content and relationships with strangers.
