Ohio, Wisconsin Mull Google Antitrust Outreach Programs

Google might want to consider hiring a state-level equivalent to that “Federal Policy Outreach Manager.” The company could soon face antitrust probes in both Ohio and Wisconsin. A spokesperson for Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine tells Bloomberg that the AG’s office is “evaluating the facts” to determine if the search sovereign’s business practices merit a formal review. In Wisconsin, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is said to be mulling an investigation into Google’s proposed acquisition of flight information software company ITA, a deal that’s already drawn the scrutiny of the Department of Justice.
