Veto watch #2

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has just announced that she has vetoed the bill that has caused so much backlash from the business community, rights activists, and even Republican politicians.

Also an update on the Georgia bill:   According to what I heard on the news this afternoon, the senate bill is still alive, although the house put its bill on hold.   

The important thing I learned from this account was that the Georgia bill differs from the Arizona one in an important way:   It only addresses religious exemptions from governmental regulations and laws (such as the contraceptive-covering insurance mandate);  it does not apply to private businesses operations.
