Join Karl Neathammer and Shelly Aldean on Capital Crossfire with guests Jeff Fontaine and Demar Dahl as they discuss the effort to persuade the federal government to relinquish its control over millions of acres of land in the western United States.
Fontaine has been the executive director of the Nevada Association of Counties since 2007. Before that he was director of the Nevada Department of Transportation.
As NACO's executive director, he is responsible for coordinating and administering all association activities and carrying out policy as directed by the NACO board. In addition he serves on various boards and committees whose mutual interests serve the welfare of Nevada's counties. Fontaine's experience also includes public service as the Nevada State Drinking Water Administrator and Environmental Engineer for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the western region.
Demar Dahl is an Elko County Commissioner and is the chairman of the Nevada Land Management Task Force. The 17-member Task Force is studying the potential for looking at the potential transfer of some federal public lands to the state of Nevada and will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by Sept. 1 just as Congress considers turning over land to the state sometime in 2015.
Based in Nevada's state capital of Carson City, Capital Crossfire is an issues and discussion program that encourages open discourse without contention and in recognition of the facts. The program explores current issues and the facts behind those issues in a lively, non-contentious discussion with hosts Aldean and Neathammer.
The program airs on Access Carson City Television (Charter Cable Channel 226) on Tuesdays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2 p.m. and Sundays at 7:30 p.m. For past Capital Crossfire programs go to Video on Demand here.
