The Federal Trade Commission and a bipartisan group of state attorneys general sued to block Cencora’s $3.5 billion deal to combine veterinary-products suppliers Covetrus and MWI Animal Health. The FTC argues the companies are major competitors whose merger would eliminate head-to-head competition and could raise prices for veterinary clinics and pet owners. The companies had competed through discounts and rebates, and the lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York.

Mandela Barnes has sued the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for defamation over articles alleging he used his political standing to pursue sexual relationships and linking the allegations to his decision to leave Wisconsin’s governor’s race. Barnes says the reporting falsely described a party investigation and misrepresented his conduct; the suit also alleges an undisclosed conflict involving a reporter, while the newspaper had not publicly responded in the reports provided.

Michigan Sues Alleging Mackinac Ferry Monopoly

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has sued the Hoffmann Family of Companies, alleging its acquisitions of both Mackinac Island ferry operators gave it an illegal monopoly over passenger ferry service, docks and much of the nearby long-term parking, allowing it to raise fees and reduce service. The state is seeking damages and other penalties, as well as court-ordered changes that could require the company to sell some holdings; the allegations have not been proven in court.
