Why he chose not to run

Only 4 on La Crosse mayor ballot

Sales tax for La Crosse

Wisconsin's $4 billion budget surplus

Advice for new La Crosse mayor

City administrator for La Crosse

Cuts to city services

Marker 03

Charging for all street parking

Homeless plan progress

La Crosse Mayor Mitch Reynolds joins for the first time since declaring he wasn't going to run for reelection. We discuss that decision, how only four people are running to replace him, advice for the new mayor, a city sales tax, cuts to city services and a homeless update. 

One of the challenges for the new mayor will be simply paying for city services and Reynolds' breaks down his recent proposal for a city sales tax to do that.

We also discussed how a city administrator could have helped a rookie mayor,as a study group is currently looking at whether hiring that position will be beneficial.

Other things we hit on were potential cuts the city might have to make with increasing costs and a flat revenue stream, and how the city-county plan to end homelessness could be complete way sooner than the five-year window it gave itself.
