Los Angeles had a new proposal to punish the state of Arizona for it's immigration law. The city Council voted to file a friend of the court brief in a lawsuit that seeks to overturn Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070. It passed 8-2.

For the record Greig Smith voted against the bill stating....

"I continue to oppose the City of Los Angeles Expending time and resources on a law passed in another State, especially at a time when we must focus our efforts on the City's fiscal crisis."

 

I have a very difficult time myself trying to understand why this would even be an issue in Los Angeles - when we are in financial turmoil and really should be focusing on our own issues.
