Schumer questions why GM bankruptcy affects so many dealerships
  • OTISVILLE – As General Motors Monday filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Senator Charles Schumer expressed some apprehension. The filing is of concern Schumer, who noted “these are very, very tough times.

    His worry is with dealership closures in areas of the state. “I am questioning why so many dealerships have to close, particularly since the GM Corporation does not give them any subsidy or any money, so if they want to stay open on their own and try to make it, I don’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed to and I am going to be trying to see what I can do by talking to the auto czar and others about the dealer situation,” he said.

    Schumer said he is very concerned about what dealer closing would do to the local economy.

    The papers were filed in federal court in New York City.
