Maricopa County elections, global supply chain, Desert Botanical Garden’s new CEO

More from this show

On this episode of “Arizona Horizon,” Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap discussed the legal battle over who controls the County’s elections. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has voted to give Recorder Heap control over early in-person voting, and he has announced plans to revise voting booths.

Next, we heard from Hitendra Chaturvedi, a professor of practice at the NASPO Department of Supply Chain Management at ASU, on how the war with Iran is disrupting the global supply chain. Chaturvedi said if this conflict continues, Americans can expect more than just rising gas prices.

Finally, Chris Kline joined “Arizona Horizon” to talk about being named Desert Botanical Garden’s new President and CEO. Kline discussed his plans to continue their conservation efforts.
