Arizona’s tourism industry is alive and well!

This certainly is good news (and I hope that our Kirly is reading this)). Despite attempts to demonize and trash Arizona as if it was a combination of Nazi Germany, Khmer Rouge Cambodia, and Gaza – the Arizona boycott campaign has not exactly been a rip roaring success! Whatever faults Americans have (and electing Obama was its biggest mistake in the last half century), we are a nation that strives for fairness. So all you Arizona haters go suck on a cactus (and that means you too husky pony-tailed blogger!!!!!!!

hat tip – our friend, the great Weasel Zippers

fox newsArizona’s tourism industry has a target on its back, but the widespread boycotts over the state’s immigration law might not be hitting the mark.

Recent data compiled by a market research group show hotel bookings across the state — as well as in tourism hot spots Phoenix and Scottsdale — have been on the rise the past two months.

The numbers could dispel warnings from local officials that Arizona stands to lose a fortune and dampen the chances that cities and organizations will be able to compel the state to reverse its immigration law by choking its economy with a sanctions-style business boycott.

“Fundamentally, the boycotts have been unsuccessful,” said Barry Broome, president of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.

The data from hotel industry research firm STR showed that for the state of Arizona, hotel occupancy was up 5.7 percent in May and up 8.3 percent in June compared with the same time a year ago.

In Phoenix, occupancy was up 10.6 percent in June; in Scottsdale, it was up 10.7 percent for the same period. Revenue also was up, with Arizona hotels raking in $148 million last month — up more than 11 percent from a year ago.

Broome said the state also has been able to attract new businesses to locate in Arizona despite bad publicity. He said his group plans to announce 2,000 to 3,000 new jobs thanks to investment from California, where Arizona boycotts are in place in several major cities, over the next few months.

“Business continues,” said Garrick Taylor, spokesman with the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

That doesn’t mean Arizona business groups are done worrying. To the contrary, they’re still on high alert over the potential damage the boycotts could do in the long run.

According to the Arizona Hotel and Lodging Association, leisure hotel bookings are up after a record bad year in 2009, but the conventions and meetings sectors have taken a hit — a development that could cost Arizona millions over the long term given that conventions are sometimes booked years in advance.

My, my, my – hypocritical Los Angeles may break (again) it’s own boycott of Arizona

The Los Angeles City Council will choose today whether to break its economic boycott of Arizona for the second time, or walk away from a proposed deal with a Scottsdale-based company that employs several local drivers at LAX.

The decision comes as Arizona is poised to implement a tough new immigration law on Thursday which has drawn significant protest in Los Angeles and elsewhere.

The proposed $1.13 million one-year contract extension for Scottsdale- based Blue Van Joint Venture, which operates Super Shuttle at LAX, has already passed muster with the Board of Airport Commissioners and the council’s Trade, Commerce and Tourism Committee.

If the full council signs off on the deal today, it would be the second time that the council makes an exemption to its economic boycott of Arizona.

A month ago, the council extended a contract with another Scottsdale- based company, American Traffic Solutions, to operate red light cameras for the Los Angeles Police Department. It cited public safety reasons.

This time, Harbor-area Councilwoman Janice Hahn is warning that failure to extend the Blue Van contract could cause financial harm to Los Angeles and take away jobs from several Super Shuttle drivers.

“This company actually pays the airport $1 million a year,” said Hahn, chair of the committee that endorsed the deal to the full council. “The boycott was about us not giving our taxpayer dollars to the state of Arizona. It was about banning travel to the state of Arizona.”

She added the “spirit of the boycott of Arizona could still be preserved” because the proposed contract extension is only for a year, during which time LAX would solicit bids from other contractors.

A report from the Board of Airport Commissioners showed that under the proposed contract extension, Blue Van would pay Los Angeles World Airports, which operates LAX, $93,938 every month for a year.

The current contract is scheduled to lapse July 31.

    I guess I’ll be the first commentator again. The attempt by the Federal government to hurt the state of Arizona is in my opinion almost cause for Arizona to seek secession – not that i want any state to leave the Union.

Montezuma’s Castle. Casa Grande. Sonoran Desert Museum. Kartchner Caverns. Sedona but that’s real touristy. Jerome. Bisbee. Tombstone (one of my favorites!). i love it here.

    oh, and Arizona joins Alaska and Vermont with permitless concealed carry tomorrow.

    btw, the majority of SB 1070 stands and will be the law of the State of Arizona in less than 6 hours including making sanctuary cities illegal AND citizens can sue if they think the law isn’t be enforced. I updated my post a bit.

    That’s a good question becasue the law states all aliens and visitor must carry a visa/green card.

    Federal law does say that.

    For those of you who might think that this is confusing climate and weather, not at all.

    Just as the extreme weather events of this last winter were caused by substantially warmer oceans and lakes, the quite well predicted el Nino is going to make things into super scorchers.

    We were warming even when things should have been cooling, if not for the emissions. Right now, we are still adding warming even when things would be getting hotter anyway if not for the emissions. Strap in kids – it will get much worse from here.

    Arizona Immigration Law – Racism, or simply Greed?
    littlegreenfootballs.com (clicks: 29)
    [Link: http://www.kpho.com...

    From the article:
    In the meantime, a CBS 5 News investigation revealed that there is one business that could profit from the implementation of SB 1070 and similar immigration measures. The private prison industry houses illegal immigrant detainees for the federal government. Those companies could gain contracts with state and local agencies to house illegal immigrants arrested for state violations.

    Corrections Corporation of America, or CCA, holds the federal contract to house detainees in Arizona. The company bills $11 million per month. CBS 5 Investigates learned that two of Brewer’s top advisers have connections to CCA.

    Paul Senseman is the governor’s deputy chief of staff. He is also a former lobbyist for CCA. His wife is listed as a current lobbyist for the company.

    Chuck Coughlin is one of the governor’s policy advisers and her campaign chairman. Coughlin’s company, HighGround Public Affairs Consultants, currently lobbies for CCA.

    CCA issued the following statement to CBS 5 Investigates:

    “CCA, unequivocally, did not at any time lobby — nor did we have any outside consultants lobby — anyone in Arizona on the immigration law. Nor are we proposing to house detainee immigrants as a result of SB 1070. We currently have no contracts with the State or any counties. CCA very proudly does have a presence in Arizona, as we own and operate six correctional facilities, employing more than 2,500 Arizona residents. These contracts are with other state and federal jurisdictions.”

    No he doesn’t. He mentioned that Az is already planing to counter the ruling. And seems confident that
    it will be overturned.
    Maybe you heard the part where he said, if we don’t bust a move in November, we gots some big problems. The progs will go for the jugular vein, if we don’t knock them down then.

    well that’s good news.

Unless it is prescribed in actual hospitals (not these little fly by night “clinics” with their blacked out windows) and sell them at pharmacies I have no use for it.

    They are selling it to high schoolers out the back doors and I cannot accept it.

    When 1 day after the legalization went into effect, we had 7 right by high schools and one across from the mall, I knew what these people were up to.

    If you read the rules in place where pot is allowed, it is almost entirely exempt from existing laws. As long as you have a green card you can do anything. If you bring it in with zoning regs, sales restrictions, tax laws, licensing rules, then maybe I can see it. But, it’s the freaking pothead wild west right now.

The system the way it is is only giving illegal drug dealers a legal storefront. Shut them down, scrap the law, and start over. As it stands now they are doing more business out the backdoor to high schoolers than they are to people with their cards.

    If you are able to fingerprint illegals, why not just deport ‘em while the ink on their fingers is still wet?

    Don’t ask don’t tell? Really, it’s so absurd. I think if you’ve been deported and return at some point it’s a mandatory ten year sentence.

    The Progressives are using them as their personal slaves. They view us as their serfs. In reality what the Left wants is Neo-feudalism.

    That is a side effect, not the goal. Their intentions are good, but they are blind to the likely effects. When this policy creates more poverty, suffering and crime in the United States, they will not cheer and approve. They will increase the social services and increase education and out-reach. They will talk of the need for reform, and to fix the broken system.

    Groan! This has been done to death. It’s NOT good intentions – it’s about power! Once things start to bread down they will never EVER take responsibility that the break down is a direct cause of their policies – they will start to point fingers. They will start to blame people for their failure. Then the pogroms start. We have a huge population – they have said they would be fine with killing off a quarter of us “hard cases.”

    Massive asteroid could hit Earth in 2182, warn scientists

    A massive asteroid might crash into Earth in the year 2182, scientists have warned.

    The asteroid, called 1999 RQ36, has a 1-in-1,000 chance of actually hitting the Earth at some point before the year 2200, but is most likely to hit us on 24th September 2182.

    It was first discovered in 1999 and is more than 1,800 feet across. If an asteroid of this size hit the Earth it would cause widespread devastation and possible mass extinction.

    It will be a guest post. Just putting the finishing touches to it. There has been some BIG moves on the Aussie electoral front over the past 24 hours.

    Very interesting as the candidates are locked at 46% each with Labor tending to decline and the Liberal / National alliance on the rise.

    For all you Yanks and others The Liberal party I would categorize as RINO Republican and the Nationals more Conservative Republicans based mostly in rural areas. The word liberal should be taken in its dictionary definition.
