Abbott said GM is requiring its dealers in Texas and other states to sign the new franchise agreements “if they want to be a part of the New GM operation.”

“The new agreements, however, amount to take-it-or-leave-it ultimatums that force current dealers to waive state laws that were enacted to protect businesses from those very kinds of oppressive moves. If dealers don’t sign the contract, they will lose their business.”

Abbott said the State of Louisiana also is challenging the franchise revisions, telling GM in a latter that “GM will not be allowed to market cars in Louisiana unless it follows state law” there.

A great big BUMP for state rights over federal decree. Go Texas and Louisiana!

I doubt Texas would agree to such a drastic measure, although they should, but the loss of good jobs will override a state's enforcement of their law Too bad though.
