TALKING ABOUT THE AMAZING ARIZONA ALPINE TRAIL

APACHE COUNTY MORITORIUM ON WIND AND SOLAR PROJECTS AS THE FIGHT OVER HUGE PROJECTS CONTINUES

SYLVIA ALLEN TALKS ABOUT THE ARIZONA STATE BUDGET

The deadline is real, and the clock is moving. We sit down with Lisa Green (Navajo County Republican Committee chairwoman) and Joe Green (Apache County Republican Committee chairman) to lay out what Arizona voters need to do right now to be ready for the primary: register by June 22, verify your party status, and make sure your registration matches your ID, especially if you’ve moved within the state. We also clear up a point many people miss: if you’re Independent or Party Not Designated, you can still vote in the primary, you just have to request the ballot you want.

From there, we dig into why local elections matter so much. County and city decisions shape your daily life through school boards, city councils, and boards of supervisors. We talk about being an educated voter, researching candidates, and avoiding undervotes by completing the full ballot. We also share ways to help beyond casting a vote, including volunteering, serving as a precinct committee member, and signing up as a poll observer so elections run the way they should.

Then the show takes a sharp turn from politics to summer fun, with Ella McAdams and Ryan Roman bringing a packed Snowflake-Taylor calendar: a summer pool party kickoff, library summer reading signups and prizes, Taylor’s 60th anniversary celebration with live music, food trucks, and a drone show at the rodeo grounds, plus camps, special library programs like a traveling planetarium, and more ways to keep kids learning while school is out.

Subscribe for more local Arizona conversations, share this with a friend who still needs to register, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show. What are you doing first: checking your registration or planning your next summer event?

Guests discuss how Navajo county BOS keeps saying they have "No Authority" but other counties are making ordinance and planning a zoning changes to protect other property owners, our water and loss of property values, ranchers and the like from thousands of Wind Turbines and Solar fields threatening our lands.

Today we talked with local Fire and the Forest Service about fire restriction and being in stage one. And we end with some fun talking about upcoming Greer Days!
