90YO Burley Councilman Calls It Quits

Burley City Councilman Vaughn Egan, 90, has dropped out of his bid for another city council term. Egan told the Times-News Thursday that caring for his family tops his list of reasons for withdrawing his council bid after he initially filed to run for re-election on Nov. 8. Egan's decision trims the field of Burley council candidates to eight seeking three seats. Earlier, Councilman Denny Curtis announced he wouldn't seek another term/Twin Falls Times-News. More here.
