From CNNMoney.com: Arizona responded to the Los Angeles city council boycott with a suggestion of its own: cutting power to the nation's second-largest city. The Arizona Corporation Commission, the overseer for the state's electric and water utilities, has offered to pull the plug on Los Angeles, noting that Arizona's power plants supply electricity to 25% of the city.

"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 power from Arizona-based generation," wrote Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, in a May 18 letter (read entire letter here). "I am confident that Arizona's utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands," he wrote.

The letter is in response to the Los Angeles city council decision on May 12 to boycott the state of Arizona and Arizona-based businesses to protest the state's controversial new immigration law, which will take affect in July.
