State Assemblyman Paul Krekorian was named as chairman of the new Select Committee on Preservation of California’s Entertainment Industry. Krekorian represents a district that includes many entertainment-related companies in Burbank, Glendale and parts of the San Fernando Valley. Many other states lure away film and television production because they know it produces economic benefits and revenues with good middle class jobs, Krekorian said. “We are going to fight hard to keep those jobs here, keep California competitive and make sure the state is a great partner for this industry,” Krekorian said. Krekorian was elected to his first term in Sacramento in 2006.
