A number of Arizona officials have urged Gov. Jan Brewer to veto SB 1062, a controversial bill that would allow business owners to refuse service to members of the LGBT community if it violates their religious principles, including Arizona’s Republican Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake. Reports now indicate that Brewer plans to veto that bill later this week.

NBC News political reporter Mike O’Brien reported on Monday that sources in Arizona are telling him that Brewer plans to veto the controversial bill:
