LADWP To Arizona: ‘Suck It, We Actually Own Your Power Plants’

The backstory is that Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce attempted to call Los Angeles out on it’s boycott of Arizona over it’s new immigration laws.  Basically he noted that he would love to help L.A. get out of the contract to use the power generated in Arizona.

“When temperatures rise over 100 degrees we’re going to love to have the extra power”

But, alas his masterstroke has one slight hole in it; L.A. owns the plants in question.

And, to add some personality to the press release:

I might add that, as the City’s Job Czar, I certainly would welcome any conventions or meetings that were going to be held in Arizona to come to Los Angeles. We have fantastic facilities and incomparable weather and we’d welcome them to the City of Angels.”

Awesome.
