Donations to defend AZ immigration law near $3.7 million

Arizona has received more than 43,000 contributions totaling nearly $3.7 million for the legal defense of SB1070, the 2010 law targeting illegal immigration.
Responding to a public records request from the Associated Press, Gov. Jan Brewer's office says the state has spent nearly $1.6 million on credit-card fees and legal bills for work through Nov. 30.
That leaves $2.1 million as of Friday in the fund set up to pay for defending the law.
