Here is a video ahead of Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval’s State of the State address on Monday, 6 p.m. at the Assembly Chamber of the Legislative Building in Carson City.
The video is from Bob Fulkerson, executive director of the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada speaking on behalf of the Nevada Values Coalition, a new group of activists and organizations formed to propose innovative strategies to create balanced solutions to the state’s budget crisis. The Coalition represents or provides services for more than 600,000 Nevadans.
Here is the Coalition’s view on the State of the State.
A fifth-generation Nevadan, Fulkerson is the co-founder of the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada.
He worked as Executive Director of Citizen Alert, a statewide grassroots watchdog organization, from 1984 to 1994. He has also served as adjunct faculty at the UNR School of Social Work, teaching classes on oppression and privilege.
Fulkerson was on the staff of Senator Paul Laxalt while attending George Washington University. He has played a key role in the formation of several social change organizations in Nevada, and serves on the boards of the Windcall Institute, High Country News and The Note Ables, a performing arts group for the disabled. He is a 2006-7 fellow in the Rockwood Leadership Program’s yearlong national fellowship for transformative leadership in the nonprofit sector, and a recipient of the “Leadership for A Changing World” Award from the Ford Foundation.
