First month on job

First black, gay and hyphenated mayor

Two week transition after election

Branding La Crosse

City administrator

Public input on admin

Zoning

More city admin

La Crosse’s first-ever hyphenated Mayor, Shaundel Washington-Spivey, in the WIZM studio a month after winning the election.

The new mayor talks city administrator, as the council put off hiring that position again — this time until February. We also discuss his first month in office, and the bit of chaos that happens in the two-week period before taking over. 

Another thing Washington-Spivey discussed was a more general idea of branding La Crosse, beyond just its natural beauty, and bringing different entities throughout the region together to help promote the area in multiple ways.

But the biggest part of the conversation was, of course, the potential hiring of a city administrator.
