Todd, let me explain:
The individual rights & business owners PRESENTLY can refuse service to anyone in the state of Arizona, without being penalized for it, as long as it's not based on race, color, religion or natural origin. This bill would do nothing for them that they couldn't already do. That makes us wonder, what was the real premise behind this bill?
