Our list of the most powerful people in Southern California


Dr. John Husing
Principal, Economics & Politics Inc.; 65, Redlands

Husing provides economic analysis and counsel to every major city in the Inland Empire, as well as to both Riverside and San Bernardino counties and two community colleges. He has also been key (along with Southern California Leadership Council co-chair Bob Wolf) in positioning the area as a logistics and transportation hub. In his private life, Husing has trekked in the Himalayas, but the biggest mountain he has climbed is convincing people that the Inland Empire - long regarded as a backwater - is now a potent economic force.
