We hit touched a vast amount of topics on La Crosse Talk PM, including how the county is moving forward with helping with childcare, homelessness and fixing the roads.

We discussed the finalization of the 2022 yearly budget, where the board is at distributing American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding and the timeline for hiring a new County Administrator, after Steve O’Malley recently retired after 18 years.
