Mayor Pringle Named One Of The "100 Most Powerful People In Southern California"
West Magazine (formerly Los Angeles Times Magazine) has published The West 100, which the editors bill as their list "of the most powerful people in Southern California." Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle is the only Orange County elected official to be included in the list:
