SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano said on Monday she would allow a bill to spend $40 million for English language instruction to become law without her signature to avoid steep fines against her cash-strapped state.
Is this some kind of reverse logic?

Hey, It's better than here in New York, where it is almost mandatory to speak Spanish in order to get any sort of decent job! We recently moved back here from down South, I tell you it is a disgrace.

I've seen the same here in northeast PA, the line usually goes "Bi-lingual proficiency is a plus+!" Also, "Must be proficient in written and spoken Spanish" or "Non-Spanish speakers need not apply". That last line really p***** me off!!!
