The Planning Report didn't think that West magazine's stab at the hundred most powerful Southern Californians went far enough. So TPR's August issue adds 23 more names, among them essential radio voices Warren Olney and Larry Mantle and perhaps the Times' most curious omission, Speaker of the Assembly Fabian Núñez. TPR doesn't call its list the most powerful, but describes its nominations as leaders "whose contributions to and influence on L.A.’s urban fabric cannot be underestimated—or overlooked." Noted: Among them is Brenda Levin, the preservation architect who is married to David Abel, publisher and editor-in-chief of The Planning Report. List after the jump:

Fabian Nuñez, Speaker of the California Assembly
David Fleming, of Counsel, Latham & Watkins
Richard Ziman, former CEO Arden Realty, Inc.
Monica Lozano, Publisher, La Opinion
John Gray, Executive Director, Autry National Center & Southwest Museum
Bill Allen, President, LAEDC
Kathleen Brown, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs
John Emerson, Capital Group
Brenda Levin, Architect, FAIA Levin & Associates
Martha Alatorre, Mexican Consul General
Youn-Bok Lee, Korean Consul General
Nick Patsaouras, Electrical Engineer and LA DWP Boardmember
Mary Nichols, Chair, LA DWP; Dir., UCLA Inst. of the Environment
Kevin Sharer, CEO, Amgen
Warren Olney, KCRW
Larry Mantle, KPCC
Cecilia Estolano, General Manager, LA/CRA
