https://www.staging.nwpb.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/IMG_9555.jpg15001125In Portland, Oregon, a federal judge is set to hear arguments this week in a case brought by the Federal Trade Commission against the proposed merger between the two grocery store chains, Kroger and Albertsons. Earlier this month, U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from Washington state, joined other members of Congress in filing an amicus brief opposing the merger. Washington is one of the states that would be most impacted by the merger, she said.
