Brewer Hires PR team to fix AZ's image

[True_Blue]

PHOENIX - The state hopes a public relations agency can convince people to travel to Arizona despite concerns they might have about the state’s immigration law.

The Arizona Governor’s Task Force on Tourism and Economic Vitality hired HMA Public Relations to come up with a campaign to help tackle any negative backlash caused by Senate Bill 1070.

Kiva Couchon, Communications Manager for the Arizona Office of Tourism, said HMA will help the state clarify any questions visitors might have on travel documentation as well as questions about the immigration law.

“There’s more to Arizona than just the policies that are going on,” said Couchon.

1. If she really wanted to hire someone to fix AZ's image, perhaps she should hire a new governor

followed by a new sheriff for Maricopa county.

5. Too late. The reputation of Frau Brewer and her state has been transmitted worldwide.

Unfortunately, racism and restrictive laws do not hide for anyone--especially not her.

That PR team is only going to make the "emperor's new clothes".

6. The taxpayers will pay for this

while the budget is in the toilet. More people will be laid off or workers hours will be cut again to pay for her window dressing.
