Rant on LaX issues

We dive deep into the government shutdown with UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky, looking at the optics, who’s “winning,” how it might end and the repercussions to those choices between Republicans and Democrats.

We also looked at the Tuesday elections a bit and began the show discussing Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers signing into law a school cellphone ban, how that was a Friday news dump last week and his hesitation in doing so.

In between all that, there are two quick rants — one, a story on how not having Halloween candy is embarrassing when a caravan of 20 kids walk up your 100-yard driveway, and the other about all the city issues going on now.

Those include:
 — Build public market
 — Build indoor pool / close pool
 — Closed parks
 — $2 million budget short fall 
 — Close a library branch
 — TIF Kmart district
 — Bike lanes downtown 3rd and 4th street
