SOTU Scoop
By Susan Garraty
Your daily scoop of what State of the Union is watching today, May 16, 2014 and over the weekend.
General Motors fined the max by NHTS. It’s the largest fine the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration can impose on a car-maker that is slow to disclose a significant safety problem. General Motors is going to pay a 35 million dollar civil penalty for producing faulty ignition switches. Despite the settlement, the FBI is still investigating the auto giant and GM could face additional fines, a senior law-enforcement official tells CNN. Earlier this year, Toyota agreed to nearly $1 billion in fines with the Justice Dept. That deal came about four years after Toyota recalled millions of cars in 2009-10.
