The U.S. Department of Justice is closing 4 of its antitrust offices, including the one in Cleveland at the Carl B. Stokes U.S. Courthouse. According to a news report, DOJ officials claim that this downsizing will save the Department $8 million dollars and enable the DOJ to "more effectively and efficiently manage larger investigations" The Cleveland office currently covers the following jurisdictions: Kentucky, Eastern District of Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia. Apparently, 21 workers in the Cleveland office will be affected, and their investigatory and enforcement work will be shifted to a regional office in Chicago, Illinois.
