Exactly - a political "connection" got the meeting with the govt officials and GM. Presto, changeo, they get what they want and stay open. This is one of the big stories that needs to be investigated, imho. What, exactly, was the methodology used to calculate these closings?? What strong arm tactics have been implemented that may be illegal?

Business can only survive in a society which is basically ethical and honors contracts.
