Derek Dowsett is the Producer of the County Seat. Now entering his 11th season of the program, he has received what he considers a "Crash Course" in County Government.

A County Commissioner is a unique position in terms of elected offices within the United States in that their position holds both legislative and executive powers. This doesn’t mean they have authority over other elected officers, but it does give the office important powers for getting things done within the county.

Chad Booth sits down with Stan Summers, Box Elder County Commissioner; Kent Peatross, Duchesne County Commissioner; Bret Millburn, Davis County Commissioner to find out more about the role that Commissioners play in our daily lives.
