Editor's Note: Patch is joining forces with Town Square Television to provide coverage of the 2012 elections in northern Dakota County. 

Town Square Television is hosting forums for candidates running for mayor or city council in West St. Paul. You can watch the forum live on Channel 14 or stream the forum on the Town Square Television link.

You can also join the conversation we're having here on Inver Grove Heights Patch.

We'll be fielding questions from blog commenters, as well as from Twitter and Facebook. Just post your question on our Facebook page, or tweet @InverGrovePatch and be sure to include the hashtag #TSTforumQ.

A few questions will be selected to pose to the candidates. 

Live blog coverage on Patch will kick off 15 minutes prior to showtime.

The West St. Paul mayor and city council forums will run from 7-8 p.m.
