Arizona threatens to cut off electricity to L.A. as payback for boycott

Gary Pierce commissioner of Arizona Corporation Commission threatens to Cut Off electricity flow to Los Angels as payback for state boycott, L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa responds

Los Angeles, with all their big talk and threats gets about 25% of their electricity from the state of Arizona. So if Los Angeles wants to boycott the entire state of Arizona, why not stop using their
resources to power your bloated city too? According to Fox News, Gary Pierce, a commissioner on the
five-member Arizona Corporation Commission, wrote the letter in response
to the Los Angeles City Council’s decision last week to boycott the
Grand Canyon State — in protest of its immigration law — by suspending
official travel there and ending future contracts with state businesses.

Noting that a quarter of Los Angeles’ electricity comes from Arizona power plants, Pierce threatened to pull the plug if the City Council does not reconsider.

“Doggone it — if you’re going to boycott this candy store … then don’t come in for any of it,” Pierce told FoxNews.com.

In the letter, he ridiculed Villaraigosa for saying that the point of the boycott was to “send a message” by severing the “resources and ties” they share.

“I received your message; please receive mine. As a statewide elected member of the Arizona Corporation Commission
overseeing Arizona’s electric and water utilities, I too am keenly aware
of the ‘resources and ties’ we share with the city of Los Angeles,”
Pierce wrote.

“If an economic
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.”

Appearing to tap into local frustration in Arizona over the raft of boycotts and threatened boycotts from cities across the country, including Los Angeles, Pierce warned that Arizona companies are willing
and ready to fight boycott with boycott.

“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.”

Pierce told FoxNews.com that he was speaking for himself, not the entire commission, though he has the support of at least one other member. But Arizona has some serious leverage over Los Angeles, as well
as the rest of California. The state and city get electricity from a
nuclear power plant outside Phoenix, as well as from coal-fired power
plants in northern Arizona and two giant hydroelectric power generators
along the Colorado River.

According to Business Insider, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa who is in Washington D.C., meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, but his deputy chief of staff issued the following statement:

“The mayor stands strongly behind the city council and he will not respond to threats from the state that has isolated itself from an America that values freedom, liberty
and basic civil rights.”.
