GM rebuffs push to again extend ignition compensation claim deadline.

The Wall Street Journal (1/29, Bennett, Subscription Publication, 5.67M) reports that GM rejected a request from Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D) and Edward Markey (D) to again extend the claim deadline for their ignition switch compensation fund. GM said in a statement, “Our goal is to be just and timely in compensating the families who lost loved ones and those who suffered physical injury. We have conducted extensive outreach about the program. We previously extended the deadline until January 31, and we do not plan another extension.”
