its time to start reneging on boycotts
Maybe AZ boycotts arent the hot trend anymore? Im not turning this into a political debate, because its a purely business decision. But its interesting to note how fervent LA was 6 months ago about their boycott...

L.A. to Buy Arizona-Made Tasers Despite Boycott
The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to continue acquiring tasers from a Scottsdale-based company despite an ongoing economic boycott of Arizona.
Without discussion, the council approved an exemption for Taser International Inc. Councilman Greig Smith filed a motion noting that several of the city's public safety agencies use the company's stun guns and would find it hard to acquire satisfactory replacements.
The council voted in May to bar all official travel to Arizona and to consider terminating certain contracts with businesses in that state after Arizona officials passed a tough anti-immigration law.
