| Company, lawmaker: Don't boycott New York tea ( AriZona tea) |
|
Edited on Wed Apr-28-10 04:41 PM by cal04
http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9FC8V2G0.... A New York-based beverage company finds itself in the middle of the controversy over a new immigration law, simply because it shares its name with the state where the law was enacted. An initiative apparently started on the Internet asks people to boycott the AriZona Beverage Co. because of claims the new immigration law in that state will unfairly target Hispanics. But Don Vultaggio, chairman of the Woodbury-based beverage maker, says it has always been a New York company. He says it was started by "two hardworking guys from Brooklyn" in 1992. Vultaggio says the company has been headquartered on Long Island for 16 years and he has no plans to relocate. Opponents of immigration law call for boycott of Arizona Iced Tea - but it is brewed in New York! http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010/04/28/201...
