“I will do the right thing for the state of Arizona,” Brewer said in an interview with CNN Monday night.

The bill would make it possible for business owners to deny service based on religious grounds.

Sources told NBC News that Brewer is more concerned with her image as of late, making it more likely she will veto the bill.

Business owners are worried about the effects of the bill after Arizona was named the next state to host the 2015 Super Bowl, according to USA Today.

Apple and American Airlines have already called on Brewer to oust the bill, according to SFGate.com.
