    KREKORIAN ASSIGNED TO CRITICAL POSITION
    IN MEETING CALIFORNIA'S BUDGET CHALLENGES


    Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) was appointed to the
    Assembly's Budget Committee this week by Assembly Speaker Fabian
    Nuñez. Krekorian will serve on the Budget Committee's subcommittee
    that deals with California's transportation and information technology
    needs.

    "California has woefully neglected its transportation and information
    technology infrastructure for decades, and this neglect is sapping our
    economic vitality, degrading our environment and significantly harming
    our quality of life," Assemblymember Krekorian said. "I'm grateful that
    the Speaker has entrusted me with this important position, and I will
    fight to ensure that California responsibly invests in its future."

    Krekorian's assignment to the powerful Budget Committee significantly
    enhances Southern California's ability to receive its fair share of
    state funding for mass transit, highways and local streets and to
    relieve traffic congestion and gridlock. In addition, Krekorian will
    have the opportunity to shape policy and budget priorities relating to
    telecommunications and other information technology infrastructure that
    is so vital to the knowledge-based industries of the 21st Century,
    including the entertainment industry.

    At a time of tremendous state budget challenges, this appointment means
    Krekorian will be uniquely situated to work on solutions that are
    fiscally responsible and reflect the priorities and values of
    Californians. Krekorian is the only member of the Assembly serving on
    both the Budget Committee and the Appropriations Committee.

    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.
