Plan to ax dealers not Chrysler's decision -lawyer

NEW YORK, May 26 (Reuters) - A lawyer for Chrysler dealers
facing closure as part of the automaker's bankruptcy
reorganization said on Tuesday he believes Chrysler executives
do not support a plan to eliminate a quarter of its retail
outlets.

Lawyer Leonard Bellavia, of Bellavia Gentile & Associates,
who represents some of the terminated dealers, said he deposed
Chrysler President Jim Press on Tuesday and came away with the
impression that Press did not support the plan.

"It became clear to us that Chrysler does not see the wisdom
of terminating 25 percent of its dealers," Bellavia said. "It
really wasn't Chrysler's decision. They are under enormous
pressure from the President's automotive task force."

He added the government task force, which he criticized for
having no members with retail experience was, in effect,
attacking U.S. entrepreneurs.

"What is the next task force? Shoe stores? Pizzerias?"
Bellavia said at an event in Manhattan to publicize the dealers'
concerns ahead of a bankruptcy court hearing.

  He speaks for them without knowing for sure? He 'believes.' Is this like one of those 'anonymous sources' that rumor mongers use all the time? I know, someone could ask the principals themselves. That might work. Meanwhile, I'll wait until someone with a brain gets all their ducks in a row, finds 'real' evidence of wrong doing, & offers up that verifiable information.
