SACRAMENTO – Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez (D-Los Angeles) issued the following statement today upon the passing of Ambassador Roland Arnall:

“From humble beginnings selling flowers on the street corners of Los Angeles, Roland Arnall became a major business leader in California and a diplomat on the world stage. He demonstrated his tenacity, his optimism and his commitment to hard work time and time again. Maria and I, and my colleagues in the Assembly, send our thoughts and prayers to the Arnall family at this time.”
