Hmm... like the government didn't see an issue with a Fox News host raising a fuss about this over her parents' dealership?

I don't usually listen to Beck but heard the interview this morning on my way to work. I had no idea who it was (didn't know the Fox angle) and found the story compelling. This is frightening.

"Fast and Loose" may be an understatement! The owners can either sign a gag order next week and "wind down" their business (and $4 million in inventory) over the next year or become terminated and try to sell their inventory that the factory will not warrant and not be recognized as a service outlet. They can sue- but regardless of the outcome they are responsible for GM's legal fees.

The dealership has been in existence for 90 years- I'm not sure how many of them have been under the Carlsons. It sounds like at least a generation. It will soon be a huge white elephant (13 acres) that used to employ 85 to 100 people. Oh, and the "evil" owners find themselves ruined. They wondered what will happen- is their franchise going to be given to someone else?

It would be interesting to know what the sales output of this store was and what the facility looks like in relation to what GM is/was trying to get in the stores? Also how far is it from other major cities, is it a single or multi line store, etc?

unaccountable government, you cannot question them because they do not work for the taxpayers they work for the Supreme Ruler of America directly

There's also a gag order in the agreement - a gag order that says you can not speak to anybody other than your employees unless you get GM's consent," Carlson said.

 

Well that explains why we haven't heard hue and cry from the Dealerships and Employees

It is amazing to me, with all the dealership closings, that Mac McClarty (Clinton cronie from Little Rock, Ark) didn’t have even ONE dealership close. /s

Didn't a dealer on On The Record with Greta Van Susteren several days ago say that new dealerships were already being opened? Many dealerships were owned by Republicans/Republican donors. I remember it being said that at least 80% were owned by Republicans. I think that is why the dealerships were attacked in the first place. New dealershipships are opening that are probably run by Obama supporters. This is bow down to Obama if you want to buy or sell starting to happen it looks like. I don't think even Conservatives are even slightly aware of the power Obama is amassing in this Country and how he is/will use it to lift up those who are for him and try to destroy those who are not.
