60 business executives, among them CEOs, are asking the AZ State legislature to back off the immigration bills that are damaging our economy. You can read the opinion page on the AZ Republic here http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/articles/2011/03/16/20110316wed1-16-new.html.
Is this action having an effect to stop further economic meltdown in the state? Most likely no.
Russell Pearce had made assurances to the business community, before taking the Senate presidency, that he would not bring this bills up for a vote. He had already broken his promise twice.
Before this last minute action, the business community had chosen to deal with the request to hold the bills in a private way. Now this public, desperate action seems too little, too late.
