Idaho Falls City Council candidates talk about the issues
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Idaho Falls voters will be choosing their city council members on Nov. 7.
Three seats are up for re-election, and two of those are contested. Kirk Larsen and Barbara Miller are competing for Seat 3. Incumbent John Radford is challenged by newcomer Dawna Howard for Seat 5.

- What are some of the skills you could bring to the table on City Council?
- Housing costs are skyrocketing. Should the city get involved? If so, how?
- How would you manage growth in Idaho Falls?
- What would you do, if anything, about property taxes?
