LANSING \u2013 On Monday, following the announcement of a settlement reached between Live Nation and the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve antitrust claims brought by the federal authority alongside a broad, bipartisan coalition of states, Attorney General Nessel and the multistate coalition have resolved not to join the settlement and instead continue to litigate their claims separate from the federal government.<\/p>\n
Attorney General Nessel released the following statement today:<\/p>\n
\u201cMichigan will not be a party to the preposterous settlement negotiated between Live Nation and the U.S. Department of Justice. We remain aligned with our state co-plaintiffs and will pursue our claims without the DOJ, who would rather preserve the interests of those with the ear of this corrupt administration than take on the Live Nation monopoly.<\/p>\n
\u201cRather than arguing their case at trial, Live Nation instead ran to the political leadership of the DOJ\u2013 where crony corruption carried the day. Time and again this administration has abandoned any efforts at meaningful consumer protection work, leaving it to the states alone to protect customers across this country. We can\u2019t break monopolies by engaging in pay-to-play schemes with the nation\u2019s wealthiest, most politically connected, companies.\u201d <\/p>\n
States continuing the case against Live Nation include Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.<\/p>\n
