Gov. Jan Brewer privatizes economic development efforts

Gov. Jan Brewer is privatizing Arizona's business attraction and economic development efforts with a new group whose board includes pro sports owners, corporate executives and real estate developers. Brewer officially established the Arizona Commerce Authority Tuesday and is putting $10 million toward the new group.
