Assistant Majority Leader Paul Krekorian to
Join Environment California
Group will reveal never before released data on air quality

BURBANK – Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Valley Glen) will join
Environment California <; Thursday
morning as the environmental group will release a new analysis of
government data on clean air trends. The report will detail carbon
dioxide levels from fossil fuel consumption in California and around the
country from 1990 to 2007 – the first time the 2006 and 2007 data levels
for California have been released. The report comes as Congress moves to
consider a major energy and global warming bill, as EPA considers the
first-ever federal rules to cut global warming pollution from tailpipes
and smokestacks and as California continues to advance the state’s
global warming pollution regulations.

Krekorian is the author of AB 64, legislation the governor vetoed that
would have delivered some of California’s toughest clean air regulations
in decades. He also wrote legislation in 2007 that imposed strict
restrictions on plastic pollution in ocean run-off.
