Assemblyman Paul Krekorian to Challenge Governor
Will call into question Schwarzenegger’s move to override renewable
energy package

BURBANK – A day after the governor signs his Executive Order, Assistant
Majority Leader Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) – author of the historic AB
64 that ensures California will be powered by 33% renewable sources by
2020 – will challenge Schwarzenegger Tuesday on his authority to
override the tenets of the renewable energy package. The package of
bills passed both state houses early Saturday morning as the Legislature
wrapped up its session. The press conference will take place at 11 a.m.
at CSUN’s solar panel-filled parking lot.

Krekorian will be joined by environmentalists, legislators and students
at one of the largest solar electric installations at a public
university in California: Cal State Northridge’s photovoltaic project of
more than 3,000 solar panels.

Who: Krekorian to be joined by the deputy director of the California
Wind and Energy Association, and other members of the environmental
community, students and area legislators.
What: Krekorian and guests will challenge the governor’s authority in
issuing the executive order that essentially gutted a year’s worth of
bicameral, bipartisan meetings with business, environmental and
governmental organizations throughout the state.
Where: CSUN’s photovoltaic parking lot, 18111 Nordhoff St., Northridge,
91330.
When: Sept. 16, 2009 at 11 a.m.
Note: Parking is located at the lot and visuals include thousands of
solar panels with green groups from throughout California.
