PHOENIX - A Glendale optometrist's yearlong legal fight over what services he had to provide for a Spanish-speaking customer has translated into new protections for other businesses.
Gov. Jan Brewer has signed legislation affirming that nothing in state law requires businesses to provide "trained and competent" interpreters when a customer comes in speaking a language other than English.

They elected Gov Christy!
I wonder if she was a “green card” holder, illegal immigrant, or citizen. Did I miss that? If she’s an illegal, are we paying for her treatment? Is she fraudulently obtaining benefits?
Si?
No si.
No si?
Si no si.
Thanks folks. I'll be here through Saturday night.
No doubt, the local La Raza organization walked her through this process.
I wonder if the AG complaint form is in Spanish too.
If she’s fraudulently obtaining benefits, the ATTORNEY GENERAL NEEDS TO CHARGE HER.
Jan Brewer for POTUS!
In MA, a dentist has to pay for the translator of the patients choice. It turned into a scam.
Lovin it!....Lovin it!
Don’t let the door hit you in ass on the way out!!
Everything about the new AZ law is soooooooo American.
Wish that Texas would follow.
I haven’t kept up with Gov. Christy. What’s he doing lately to get on the good side of conservatives? Has he outlawed the smell coming from Newark?
Everyone going through the legal immigration process must be able to pass an interview in English.
The only ones that should be here legally that can not speak English would be tourists on a proper visa.
Do they let just anyone file a lawsuit?
The election of their new Governor
Or, will AZ move to ‘English only’ voting ballots?
Okay. So what has he done to impress conservatives?
How about having English as the official language of all states.
FL has a constitutional amendment which does this.
language unifies a nation. multiple languages balkanize.
The only company that would demand balkanization are the free spanish language stations. Those should just be “pay extra” cable tv stations.
I think the big thing is he is taking on the Public Unions, and lowering spending rather then just cutting taxes. U-tube has some fun snippets from speeches.
a common language makes a society and a country successful
but, you’re assuming that they want their society, culture and country to be successful...
and that’s not a valid assumption.
No kidding-she’s sounding more presidential by the day!!!
