The City Council of Los Angeles has voted to boycott Arizona to the tune of at least $7.7 million, canceling several outstanding contracts with companies located in the Grand Canyon State. The offending issue, of course, is Arizona's passage of its tough anti-illegal immigration law. But, as the city of L.A. is currently just this side of bankruptcy, as is also the entire state of California, which otherwise might have been in a position to bail the city out, they actually saved Arizona from getting stuck with a very large handful of very bad paper.
Meanwhile, the Lakers will be traveling to Phoenix as scheduled, and vice versa, in order to compete in the next round of the NBA playoffs. Principles are principles, but let's be real, shall we?
