The La Crosse city council could vote Thursday night on new budget cuts designed to balance a $6 million revenue shortfall.

The shortage of money is being blamed partly on the coronavirus, but also on renovations at the La Crosse Center which prevent the building from holding money-making events.

Center manager Art Fahey is working on ways to guarantee certain events late in the year, such as the Elvis Explosion and the November Holiday Fair.
