Last week, it was La Crosse County’s turn. Now, the La Crosse city council takes up its budget for 2025 at a special meeting Monday night.

The city is planning to spend about $72.2 million on services in the coming year, coming in about $110,000 below the budget for 2024. The largest areas for spending, police and fire, may both receive slight increases from last year. Those two areas would account for about $28 million in spending. The city’s operating tax levy is projected to be $41.5 million, which would be $2 million above the amount from a year ago.

The city compares to the $206 million budget adopted for La Crosse County last week. The budget meeting begins at 6 p.m. at City Hall, with a public hearing on the spending plan.

    Instead of trying to figure out spending, maybe they should figure out saving. Wow, there is a novel idea for local government.
