Pocatello reopens Hiline Road intersection as improvement project nears completion

POCATELLO — The intersection of Hiline Road, Pearl Street and El Rancho Boulevard reopened to traffic after crews finished final paving, city officials said. The Hiline Road and Signalization Improvement Project began in July. Over four months, crews made roadway and signal upgrades intended to improve traffic flow and safety at the busy intersection. Most construction is complete, though crews may remain in the area for minor finishing work, the city said. City officials acknowledged the inconvenience the work caused for residents, businesses and drivers and thanked them for their patience. The project is part of the city’s broader effort to build a safer, more accessible and better-connected transportation network, in line with goals set out in its Comprehensive Plan 2040. More information about city construction projects is available at pocatello.gov/1002/Projects.

Idaho Foodbank sets 1 million meal goal for holiday campaign in eastern Idaho

POCATELLO — The Idaho Foodbank has started its annual Hope for the Holidays campaign, with a goal of providing food for 1 million meals in eastern Idaho over the next two months. About 1 in 7 people in eastern Idaho face food insecurity, including 1 in 6 children, the organization said. The foodbank and 150 local partner groups serve nearly 44,000 people in the region each month. Foodbank President and CEO Randy Ford said high prices for food and other basic goods continue to add stress for families during the holidays, and he urged residents to take part in the campaign. Several fundraisers run statewide. Customers at participating Albertsons stores can buy Holiday Bucks at checkout through Dec. 31 as part of the chain’s Feed Joy campaign, and Maverik is collecting round-up donations at its stores. On Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1, donations to the foodbank will be matched up to $10,000 by Rodger and Cynthia Shaver. In eastern Idaho, a Light the World Giving Machine will operate at ICCU Headquarters, 4400 Central Way in Chubbuck, sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for 6 p.m. Nov. 13, and donations will be accepted

Bannock County finds 333 uncounted ballots from Pocatello precinct

POCATELLO — Earlier today, the Bannock County Clerk’s Office notified the Secretary of State’s Office that 333 ballots cast in the November 3, 2026 General Election in Bannock County Precinct, Pocatello 2 had not been counted on election night. The ballots in question were identified during the post-election review process. After tabulating the additional ballots, no outcomes were changed. All 333 ballots were from the same precinct. The closest results for any election involving the Pocatello 2 precinct were for the County Coroner's race, which was separated by 4,857 votes. “Once again, this demonstrates the importance of the reconciliation process we use to verify election results following every election,” said Secretary of State Phil McGrane. “While I am thankful that these ballots were identified, we will be working to determine why these ballots were not processed on election night and working with counties across the state to reinforce our election processes.” “Needless to say, this should not have happened. We take pride in Bannock County in the work that goes into running our elections,” said Bannock County Clerk Jason Dixon. “We are working closely with the Secretary of State’s office to ensure full transparency and to determine if additional steps
