Arizona's governor apparently vetoed the bill yesterday.

I'll have to find a way to give that guy some business when I'm in Tucson in a couple of weeks.

She did. She realized there was no upside to passing this and the down side was looking huge. Rumor was the NFL was considering moving the Superbowl.

ETA that does not excuse the douchecanoes that passed the bill in the first place.

That's excellent. I'm so glad the gov vetoed that pig-fucker of a bill.
