Both senators from Arizona are calling for Gov. Jan Brewer to veto a bill that would allow businesses to deny service to gay customers.

Monday morning, Sen. John McCain tweeted his hope that the governor will veto Senate Bill 1062, echoing a tweet sent Saturday by Sen. Jeff Flake.


The bill was passed by the Senate last Thursday. The governor’s office expects it to be delivered Monday afternoon, Brewer’s press secretary Ann Dockendorff said in an email. Brewer has five days from the time the bill arrives to veto the bill or it will become law.

Brewer is in Washington for the National Governors Association meeting until Tuesday and will act on S.B. 1062 once she has had a chance to thoroughly review it, Dockendorff said.

Another lawmaker from the state, Democratic Rep. Ron Barber also tweeted his opposition to the bill on Monday, urging Brewer to veto it.
