SUGAR LAND--June 5, 2009--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--As the saga that is the bankruptcy of General Motors Corporation (OTC:GMGMQ) (Detroit, Michigan) has unfolded over the last week, there have been many observers hovering around the edges of the proceedings. Bond holders, employees, governmental officials and the media have paid close attention to the events leading up to the decision and what has happened in the days since.
