Rebecca Cooke declares US House

La Crosse mayor debate react

Wisconsin Supreme Court debate react

The $90,000 Cheeto

UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky in studio reacting to the La Crosse mayor candidate debate hosted by WIZM last week.

We also discussed Rebecca Cooke getting back into the US House race in Wisconsin’s 3rd District, more reaction for the Wisconsin Supreme Court debate and why a Cheeto sold at auction for $87,840.

Started the show with Cooke getting back into the race against Derrick Van Orden and how the two never debated.

With the mayor’s debate, we broke down some of the questions, including one that came off pretty racist. 

After that, we talked about how the Wisconsin Supreme Court debate went between Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel, and the money flowing into that race.

Lastly, the flaming hot Cheeto that sold for nearly $90k because of what it looked like.

Feigl joins

Recapping Feigl story with Clott

Peter Feigl joined to tell us his incredible story of surviving the Holocaust — the many ways his life was saved — losing his parents to the Auschwitz concentration camp and what he did after WWII. 

Feigl will be in La Crosse on Wednesday, telling this story and answering audience questions at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center. People should get there at 6 p.m., because every seat will be filled for the free event. It will also be livestreamed here.

Also joining is Darryle Clott, Holocaust educator at Viterbo, who helped set this conversation up.

After Feigl tells his story, Clott talks about some of the new details he shared, the importance of his telling this story and how Viterbo prioritizes Holocaust education to teachers with workshops throughout the year.

Aron Newberry in the WIZM studio to talk about why he’s running for city council, his experiences and a couple of his top issues including city administrator, housing and past votes on the REACH Center.

Newberry is running in District 9 against incumbent Chris Woodard. Read more here about the candidates, who answered the WIZM questionnaire.

We began the conversation talking about Newberry’s work experiences and what he feels would help in his role on the council.

After that, we got into some of the top issues looking ahead, including the potential creation of a city administrator position, the city’s zoning changes, city taxes and housing.

We ended on a past city council issue that involved the REACH Center, which also had to do with zoning changes but went to vote a few different times.
