Inland Empire
Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Roughly 4.6 million people, which is more than 24 states, covered by fewer journalists every year.
This is a guide to the governments that make decisions here: who they are, when they meet, where to watch them, and how to speak at a meeting.

What we track today
23 governing bodies, out of an estimated 60 to 100 or more across the region.
- 2 county boards of supervisors
- 17 city councils
- 4 school district boards
Not yet tracked: roughly 40 more cities, most school districts, every planning commission, all special districts (water, transit, flood control, air quality, library, hospital, fire), both LAFCOs, and the eight federally recognized tribal governments in the region.
Why this exists
The Inland Empire is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country and one of the least covered. Four of its daily newspapers, the Press-Enterprise, the San Bernardino Sun, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, and the Redlands Daily Facts, are all owned by the same company. Los Angeles media treats the region as a suburb of itself.
Meanwhile every one of these bodies meets in public, most of them stream it, and almost none of what is said gets written down anywhere searchable.
