If Los Angeles wants to boycott Arizona, it had better get used to reading by candlelight.
That's the message from a member of Arizona's top government utilities agency, who threw down the gauntlet Tuesday in a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa by threatening to cut off the city's power supply as retribution.
Gary Pierce, a commissioner on the Arizona Corporation Commission, wrote the letter in response to the Los Angeles City Council's decision last week to boycott the Grand Canyon State -- in protest of its immigration law -- by suspending official travel there and ending future contracts with state businesses.

This is some funny stuff.
And then boycott everything from Mexico, since that corrupt sh*thole is one of the major factors in the decline and lawlessness in Arizona and America.
Ouch!!
I also think that a lot of LA’s water runs through AZ!
Wonder how all the illegals in LA would respond to a big power outage there.....
They would sit in the dark.....
It’s not payback. We are just helping them along with their boycott.
“a quarter of Los Angeles’ electricity comes from Arizona power plants, Pierce threatened to pull the plug if the City Council does not reconsider. “
oh my gosh, I love it!
What goes around comes around.
Make me feel so warm in fuzzy inside.
:)
How rich.
Just help the folks in LA be true to their word.
..of course, as he said, who would the Obama administration come after....(we all know)
But DO IT!----Call their bluff!
No, they would riot. LA would get a nice dose of what AZ has been living with.
In 1980 the Canadian federal government imposed the National Energy Program, which involved heavy regulation, partial nationalization and price fixing that almost killed the oil industry in the province of Alberta (Canada’s version of Texas, both economically and politically). Ralph Klein, the Mayor of Calgary (and subsequently Provincial Premier), made the statment: “Let the Eastern bastards freeze in the dark”, in reference to the primarily eastern based ruling party which imposed the new regulations, in the face of the east’s dependence on western oil.
I’d love to hear a similar statement from the Governor of Arizona to the state of California!

Actually...boycotts should be used in response to boycotts. This will bring the boil to a head much quicker.....lance the boil....let the puss squirk!
Mayor's response? "Well, we have a budget crisis, in case you haven't noticed..."
Silly me...they've been saying it's about safety, not revenue...
Don't matter. They ain't got no electricity, anyway.
