\"[Keith Richman] is just crushing it,\" says Michael Burns, vice chairman at Lionsgate, the studio that is home to movies such as \"The Spy Next Door\" and TV shows \"Mad Men\" and \"Weeds.\" \"He's incredibly focused on young men, which is a demographic we care a lot about. Break talks to them incredibly well.\" Richman describes his sites as \"Comedy Central meets MTV's \"Jackass\" meets \"America's Funniest Home Videos\" meets Maxim magazine.\" Overall, viewers \"want to be entertained,\" Richman says. \"If you ever sat next to a bunch of 15-year-old guys at a fast-food restaurant, or Wall Street traders, they'll say the same thing: 'Did you see that video?' That's what we want. To have that 'Didja see that?' \"

San Fernando Valley secession drive showing signs of imploding

Richman, Keith
2002
\"The establishment of a new San Fernando Valley city can become a catalyst for improvements in the remainder of Los Angeles,\" said [Keith Richman], a Republican state assemblyman who is among 120 mayoral and City Council candidates for the phantom city. \"The rest of Los Angeles (would) have smaller council districts and have an opportunity to put in a more efficient government.\" Though polls indicate that the break-up proposal would easily pass in the Valley, the idea has gained little traction citywide. Polls also indicate that the Hollywood secession proposal would lose in Hollywood and citywide. With 3.6 million residents, Los Angeles stands as the nation's second largest city. If the Valley secession measure passes, Los Angeles' population would shrink to 1.9 million and it would switch places with Chicago to, once again, become the third largest city. The San Fernando Valley city, whose proposed names include Camelot and Rancho San Fernando, would emerge as the sixth largest city, with 1.4 million residents.

Lawmaker speaks on pension reform
2005
Speaking at St. Mary's College, Assemblyman Keith Richman said California's unsound public pension system requires a dramatic realignment. Driven by the most generous benefits in the nation, the state's annual retirement costs increased from $160 million in 2000 to $2.6 billion this year, he said. Under Richman's privatization plan, governments would pay a fixed amount every year into retirement accounts for workers hired after mid-2007. That, Richman said, would stabilize the budget process and help taxpayers avert future shortfalls. Two consecutive years of borrowing to cover state pension costs demonstrates the need for reform, said Assemblyman Joe Canciamilla, D-Pittsburg, who serves with Richman on a bi-partisan budget working group.

State pension gap grows, survey says
2007
\"Unfunded liabilities are going up and the funding ratio - which is a sign of how much money is being put toward future liabilities - is going down,\" said association spokesman David Kline. \"Taken together, that's a bad equation.\" Last week, the governor's Public Employee Post-Employment Benefits Commission concluded that the state's pension systems have an obligation of $579 billion - with just $516 billion currently funded. \"I think the public is becoming more aware of this issue every day,\" [Keith Richman] said. \"Every day throughout the state the public is learning about the abuses of the public employee pension system and the costs that this is going to have.\"

PENSION INITIATIVE PLANNED RICHMAN SEEKS 700,000 SIGNERS

Richman, Keith
2007
\"The fact is there is no pension crisis in California. Even the Wall Street Journal admitted recently that most pension plans are now 'healthy,' thanks to several years of double-digit investment gains and rising interest rates. Our state's largest public pension fund, CalPERS (California Public Employees' Retirement System), recently exceeded $250 billion in assets, an increase of more than $100 billion in just the past decade,\" [Jelincic] said. \"CalPERS is more than 93 percent funded. Some county and municipal funds are more than 100 percent funded.\" \"Municipalities not only gave attractive benefit increases when investment markets were on fire, but they also made minimal contributions to the pension plans during those good times,\" said Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach, a [Keith Richman] plan backer. \"Our initiative stops this fiscally irresponsible practice.\" \"The older generations decided to put the screws to the young people,\" [Ted Costa] said. \"I'm totally ashamed of my generation for doing this. The public pension system is being destroyed from within, and most politicians are afraid to step up to the line and say what needs to be done. This will probably only be the beginning of a movement that will happen in California until we have a sane public pension system in this state.\"

Thomas Elias: The real flu question: Are current laws adequate?
2009
It's happening again right now. Zero population growth activists not affiliated with the formal organization of that name, now called the Population Connection, insist the latest flu epidemic is one of nature's attempts to reduce the \"excessive\" human population of this planet. \"Show me a more practical way than closing the border to prevent this from spreading and I'll go for it,\" says Jim Gilchrist, founder and president of the Minuteman Project. \"Until we know exactly what's going on here, we have to do something.\" \"I think there's some ambiguity in issues of quarantine and isolation,\" he said. \"I'm comfortable with what's going on now, things like warnings about what to do when you have certain symptoms, washing hands often and isolating people known to be infected with this flu strain. We wanted to address potentially more severe outbreaks than this one has been so far, where it's still not clear the government can act sufficiently to stop things.\"
