Long list of choices on county ballots Polls are open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8 Ketchum residents Gary and Connie Hoffman stand in front of the Ketchum Post Office earlier this week to campaign in favor of a proposed change in the city’s form of government. Wearing their ghost costumes that say “Boo To Scare Tactics,” the Hoffmans have been hitting the streets all week to encourage voters to say “yes” to replacing the city’s “strong mayor” form of government with a “council-manager” structure. Interest in the debate has been high, with committees and residents campaigning vigorously on both sides of the issue. Courtesy photo
