Arizona threatens to cut power to Los Angeles - not really

i don't have a link but it's on fox now, the utility commissioner told LA if they keep boycotting Arizona stuff they will cut their power off.
Not all their power, they said it only supplies about 25% of their power but who knows what that would due to the system(s) handling the other 75%

Los Angeles owns that power, its not like we are dependent on it or paying some kind of bill on it.
Fox is a joke all the crap they've been talking today is just building up more divide. I'm ready to take up arms! :evil:

Tell me those "supervisors" thought if this before they voted to boycott..........
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
AZ cannot pull the power on LA- the member who wrote the letter, was only making a suggestion- That if LA was serious about the boycott then they should pull there electrical resources from AZ..... But LA holds that option ....
not AZ.
this is going to get nasty .... And I am in favor of progress.... I'm not ready to go back to the civil rights period....
Trust me.
NEVER would happen.
Without this power LA would have rolling black outs that would be worse than Venezuela's.
How do you know about Venezuela?

I think they are just saying, why don't you put your money where your mouth is and quit buying power from Arizona.
"if a boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation."
"I am confident that Arizona's utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands," Pierce wrote. "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."
No one person can shut the power off to the city of Los Angeles, but don't you all think it is a bit hypocritical to come out and say boycott this and boycott that and still draw power generated in Arizona?

NPR the other day...
What for? If LA wants a total boycot then let them have it.
98 CAA
00 Virginia Beach;Camden I; Jones Beach III
05 Borgata Night I; Wachovia Center
06 Letterman Show; Webcast (guy in blue shirt), Camden I; DC
08 Camden I; Camden II; DC
09 Phillie III
10 MSG II
13 Wrigley Field

People should be fired for even making such threats.
When do people grow up?
it turned out fox was just overhyping it, they weren't 'threatening' to cut the power, the guy was saying since you want to boycott stuff from their state stop buying power and water from them, too

They are not buying the power.... they own 25% of the power... It does not belong to AZ.

No joke - that comment was taken from the LA Times.
Well at least city councils are interesting again. If you guys want a treat watch these clips from the santa cruz city council meeting. Californians....Wow.

seriously, this is what normally goes on at city council meetings, if you have ever been you know what I am talking about. This gal is fantastic. If any of you haven't seen it you have to watch it.

Is that for real...so funny...

yes it is
I couldnt believe it when I heard it so I had to watch it. It was unreal. I particularly like the guy who has what appears to be his wife timing him so he gets through all his points in his allotted 5 minutes
"I mean the east coast believes in slaves and made in china" she was great
