Lefty, most of companies are registering in DE, as the most business friendly state. Does not mean crap, when they are ending up on government dole.

Just because Walmart does it, doesn’t make it right.

yeah, i’m afraid gm is not an exception here, it’s the business rule…whether it’s incentives, or legal loopholes, businesses locate where it’s most advantageous, and the localities are happy to have the businesses there…happens all the time, like credit card companies putting HQs in delaware due to state laws that gave them more flexibiilty (if i am remembering my facts correctly)…

path:
Every car company does that. I think Walmart is the best at it after they get millions they put the small shops out of business.

@iluvamcars
I’m sorry…what would you like me to call it? GM is basically telling municipalities that unless they can fork over millions of dollars then they are not going to reopen plants in their neighborhood. Right…sorry how immature of me to point out the blatant truth…

GM stop blackmailing Townships/cities/states! Just build your Honda Fit on steroids look-a-like already and stop all this political maneuvering.
