I wonder if this is constitutionally lawful? Oh yeah, it's the lefties that did it this time so it's ok.
Someone needs a serious talk with that idiot.
City workers banned from official travel to Arizona

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced today a moratorium on official city travel to Arizona after the state enacted a controversial new immigration law that directs local police to arrest those suspected of being in the country illegally.

The ban on city employee travel to Arizona takes effect immediately, although there are some exceptions, including for law enforcement officials investigating a crime, officials said. It's unclear how many planned trips by city workers will be curtailed.

It said for official travel, excluding law enforcement. Basically bearucrats can't take paid vacations to AZ. People there are still free to go on their own dime.

Yeah I know I still think it's ridiculous. But doesn't surprise me coming from that moron.

Would-be boycotters' would benefit by looking into the NAACP boycott of South Carolina. Not only did that boycott not work, it was an abysmmal failure. South Carolina actually saw an increase in tourism during that time, not the decrease that the NAACP predicted. It's one of those things that make you go "hmmm....maybe the boycott is why many people decided to visit?!" Afterall, the NAACP made it abundently clear that its supporters would not be going to SC for vacation. Quite frankly, that may have been the driving force for many tourists to actually visit South Carolina.

Arizona could see the same benefit.

Oh quite the opposite. I want SF workers to flock to AZ so they can get their lefty butts handed to them. I would PPV that one.

Their lefty butts handed to them?

They're on our tax dollars, why should they get the right to freeload?

Oh right, only when it would mean a political victory for the right.

I see.

Wrong again. I want to see their signs up their butt as they scramble to get back on their Wesson Oil powered buses and putt back to SF.

You...didn't...get...the PPV part did you?

I don't need Mayor Newsome to tell me to stay the hell out of AZ.
I wasn't a fan of the place before they enacted their racist law.

Is this goon thinking of the potential ramifications of this? Supporters of the AZ Governor, canceling trips to San Francisco for retaliation?
