Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak has urged department heads and other city officials to cancel any pending official travel plans to Arizona in the wake of new immigration legislation in that state.
Rybak urged city officials to find alternate ways of accomplishing the same business ends without traveling to the state. Arizona law makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally and authorizes police officers to ask people for proof of citizenship and hand illegal immigrants over to federal enforcers.
“This is a terrible law, and I do not want any public dollars to be spent there,” Rybak said. “Furthermore, I am deeply concerned that this terrible policy could put our city employees who might be traveling there on official business at risk of being unlawfully racially profiled, detained or harmed.”

I’d sure like to see the expense accounts from these dippy mayors on how much they have spent in Arizona in the last 5 years....bet its zero...just mouthy for their lib voters..
Too easy.
I shop at Target. I don’t buy anything. I just shop....
I love to walk around with the Sig on my hip, while the rent-a-cops stand there with their walkie-talkies....
;-)
Oh, go. You might get lucky! Then SF can be the place where you did the dirty deed the first and probably last time.
LOL! At my age, it could be, in fact, the last.
Liberal government workers everywhere should quit their jobs to protest Arizona protecting their international border.
Thanks for the heads up, richard cranium.

I am trying to figure out if I can free travel budget up this year to make a trip to Arizona, as well.
Yes, this is from the mayor of Jihad Central.
I boycott stupidity and this man is “Stuck on Stupid, big time.”
I wish there were a way we could get a huge group to start promoting travel to ARIZONA! I think it would be great to get tea party folks and like minded conservatives to do everything possible to elevate business and trade in Arizona! We could bust these worms who want our laws to continue to be broken!
Canceling Minneapolis travel now...
Done.
I just freed up some travel budget to not go to Minneapolis with. I feel rich!
I think I will cancel Minnesota for travel too.
Are these people just plain stupid?
I think we’re going to see a lot of people moving to AZ; in fact, I’m seriously wondering if there isn’t going to be a huge shifting of population among states on political grounds alone. I’ll stay in MA while my parents (in their 80’s) live, but could be talked into seeking political asylum very easily.
I am planning to fly to Arizona this winter ..... and spend lots of money on businesses that do not hire illegals. I will even ask them first.
So, yes, I am joining the “Buy”-cott!

They are beyond stupid, more like morons who
put Al Franken in the Senate.
I guess it’s the ego you get when you’re a city of just over a 3rd of a million of people and the only other major city that’s around you may as well be a part of your city since you’re so close together. The mayor, much like many other Minneapolitain, have this air or unearned arrogance. It’s because Minneapolis has made a living seeming as though it’s more significant than it actually is by stealing Saint Paul’s thunder for ages. The Mayor’s bought into the hype that his city of 380 thousand people actually means something nationally. It doesn’t. It’s a small sized urban outpost located by another small sized urban outpost when put together, make up a medium sized urban outpost of around 600K people and falling. He’s just the mayor of the western half of a remote, Denver sized city. It’s so small that I usually tell people I’m from the state of Minnesota when I go out of town, since few people have heard of Minneapolis.
Oh, and Minneapolis is full of militant vegans.
“Are these people just plain stupid?”
(Chris)Coleman, Rybak, Klobuchar, Franken, Ellison.....
Yes.
SWA flight in, bus downtown; do a meal, bus back, SWA flight home.
