*Saturday Extra* Today on the extended newscast, a situation in San Juan County that started as a voting rights issue, but turned out to be so much more – addressing. We speak with Maggie McGuire, the editor of the Moab Sun News, about the many Navajo residents without traditional addresses, and how that affects their ability to vote, get medical care, and mail. McGuire gives some history on this issue, and shares what she’s learned about a non-profit/private partnership currently working towards equity.
