County to add another lawyer for first time in 20 years
Position, if approved, to handle lawsuits and other legal matters
La Crosse County’s office of corporation counsel is requesting a staff increase for the first time in almost 20 years. A staff increase in the name of another attorney.
The county board is being asked to add to the three-person staff that handles civil law matters for county government.
The position would handle lawsuits and other legal matters.
Chief corporation counsel Dave Lange made the main argument for more staff, and he was backed up by others in county government.
The proposal for an added attorney could come to the full county board later this month.
