AZ to LA: Want to play hardball?

I do believe Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce must have played a few hands of poker in his time.

From the Washington Times... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... t-boycott/

In a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce said a boycott war is bad for both sides, and said he would "be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements" to end the electricity flowing to Los Angeles.

"I am confident that Arizona's utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands," Mr. Pierce said. "If, however, you find that the City Council lacks the strength of its convictions to turn off the lights in Los Angeles and boycott Arizona power, please reconsider the wisdom of attempting to harm Arizona's economy."

Arizonans are tough as nails.

Makes you wonder how they ever elected McCain, doesn't it?
