Arizona threatens to cut off LA electricity supply

Arizona could cut off electricity supplies to Los Angeles in protest at an economic boycott over the state's controversial immigration law.

Los Angeles receives about 25 per cent of its power from Arizona, meaning a quarter of America's second largest city could be plunged into darkness.

Politicians in the city voted last week to impose a boycott on Arizona which will affect about $8 million (£5.3 million) worth of contracts with the state. City officials will also stop travelling to Arizona.
