La Crosse city council Rep. Chris Woodard called in to discuss his displeasure with the decision to not add about $105,000 to the 2025 budget and include large-item pickup, plus pushing back a vote on hiring a city administrator until after the mayoral election.

At the council's monthly meeting this week, it voted 8-4 not to add large-item pickup back into the budget, after it had been cut the year before. Woodard talks about why he wanted that back.

We also discussed the council's decision last month to delay a decision on a city administrator until May of 2025, which would come after a new mayor is elected, plus half the council is on the ballot, as well. The council did vote, this week, to create a working group to study the administrator idea.

First, though, we got Woodard's reaction to the news that Mitch Reynold would not be seeking reelection.

UW-La Crosse football coach Matt Janus joined WIZM's La Crosse Talk on Tuesday to discuss, not just being back in the playoffs for a fourth-consecutive season, but how this one means just a bit more because these seniors are his first recruiting class. We also talk about the three-game skid the 18th-ranked Eagles (7-3) went through early and how that changed Janus' perspective and got the team back on track. In ending the season with a five-game win streak, UW-L has won four of those by one score. The Eagles host unranked Northwestern at noon Saturday — a game that will stream on WKTY.
