Viruses spread by mosquitoes; Apache County election investigation; ‘Social Capital at Work’

On this episode of “Arizona Horizon,” John Townsend, Vector Control Division Manager for Maricopa County Environmental Services Department, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss concerns over an increase in viruses spread by mosquitoes. Massive rainfall over the Halloween weekend created a perfect storm for mosquitoes to breed.

We also heard from reporters Sasha Hupka from Votebeat and Adriana Navarro from the Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting about an investigation into voter disenfranchisement in Apache County and the Navajo Nation. The two-year investigation reviewed documents to see whether the County was ready for the midterms.

Finally, author Seth Rachlin explained how social capital is a hidden asset at work that can drive trust, engagement and performance.
