    Assemblymember Paul Krekorian Appointed to

    Assembly's Working Group on Water Issues



    Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez named Assemblymember Paul Krekorian
    (D-Burbank) to the "Water Working Group" that will be developing
    strategies to address California's critical needs regarding water
    storage and conveyance.

    Immediately upon adjournment of its regular legislative session on
    Tuesday, the State Legislature convened a Special Session devoted to
    water issues. California is facing an immediate water crisis due to a
    combination of factors including drought conditions, aging
    infrastructure and environmental concerns. The Water Working Group will
    take the lead in developing legislation to address this crisis that will
    then be presented to the full Assembly for its consideration.

    Krekorian joins Water Working Group chair, Assemblymember John Laird
    (D-Santa Cruz), as well as Assemblymembers Juan Arambula (D-Fresno),
    Mike Eng (D-Monterey Park), Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles), Jared Huffman
    (D-San Rafael), Mary Salas (D-Chula Vista), and Lois Wolk (D-Davis) on
    this assignment. The Assemblymembers will work in concert with the
    Speaker on legislation to address both immediate and long-term needs of
    the state arising from growing demands on water supply and the
    inadequacy of California's existing water infrastructure to meet them.

    "I'm honored that the Speaker has entrusted me with this challenging
    responsibility to develop a consensus vision for meeting California's
    water needs," said Krekorian. "Water issues have always shaped our
    state's history, and we now face a critical juncture in shaping our
    state's future. I'm looking forward to working with the Speaker and my
    colleagues in addressing the critical need for more water supply and
    storage and improved conveyance while also always fighting to protect
    the state's environment."


    Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) represents the cities of
    Burbank and Glendale, and the Los Angeles communities of Atwater
    Village, Los Feliz, North Hollywood, Silver Lake, Toluca Lake, Valley
    Glen, Valley Village and Van Nuys.
