La Crosse Mayor Mitch Reynolds joined WIZM’s La Crosse Talk on Wednesday discussing a range of topics, including the city's new balloon release ban, the future of the old Kmart, the impact of a federal funding freeze on La Crosse and some positive news on homelessness.

We began by reflecting on his final two months as mayor before stepping down and whether he plans to endorse any candidates in the upcoming city council or mayoral races.

The conversation briefly shifted to sports, touching on potential new home for Aaron Rodgers, as well as the Town of Campbell’s efforts to incorporate.

Then we got into the balloon ban, as Reynolds spoke about plastic waste and his role as co-president of the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative.

On the topic of homelessness, Reynolds shared encouraging news — stating that currently, no one is likely sleeping on the streets. He also highlighted a milestone for the Pathways Home project, which recently housed its 100th person.

Later, the discussion turned to the federal funding freeze and the potential challenges it could create for the city from police and fire to flooding mitigation and more.

The show wrapped up with an update on the redevelopment of the old Kmart lot and how the project is progressing despite looming tariffs on steel.
