Trump and the WI governor race

UWL starts class, sets freshmen record

Show rundown

Charlie Kirk assassination 

City admin v ops director

Park closures over homelessness

UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky, joins to discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a philosophical question about homelessness with La Crosse closing two parks, the Wisconsin governor’s race — as David Crowley visited the area — and the city’s dueling administrator-v-ops director proposals.

Began the show on the governor’s race, with Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley in the studio earlier this week, announcing his candidacy, and what Chergosky thinks the field might look like — and who may get, or even want, Donald Trump’s endorsement.

After that, we spoke briefly about UW-L setting back-to-back records for the largest freshman class, before discussing the Kirk assassination and how House Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to lower the temperature in the nation.

Next, we hit on two city of La Crosse issues. First, we asked Chergosky if the mayor is trying to use reverse psychology on the city council into voting for a city administrator position by proposing an operations director position last minute. The ops director was voted Thursday to be put off by council for 30 days.

After that, Chergosky discussed the city closing both Burns and Cameron parks, in part due to homelessness, and what that means for a community where public spaces are meant for everyone.
