On Jan. 19, the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation announced a plan for a new Center of Economic Development that will support the engagement of business leaders in public policy. The Center will develop policy positions and engage officials and the public on their behalf. The LAEDC also established the Southern California Leadership Council to oversee the Centers activities, and recruited former California Governor and U.S. Senator Pete Wilson as chair. MIR is pleased to present an interview with Governor Wilson, now a principal at the Bingham Consulting Group, about the need for this new center and a common economic agenda.
