La Crosse city council candidate Paul Brown on city administrator, homeless, budget

La Crosse city council candidate Paul Brown in the WIZM studio for La Crosse Talk, discussing his background and priorities in running.

Some of the highlights include hiring a city administrator, the airport’s revenue guarantee fund and Brown’s background in mental health, which he feels gives him an educated perspective on some of the dilemmas the homeless experience.

In terms of city administrator, Brown talked about his perspective on hiring that position, plus some of what he calls inconsistent decisions made by the city council when it comes to expenditures. That included the council recently setting aside $250,000 for the La Crosse Airport’s “minimum revenue guarantee” fund to ensure airlines don’t lose money on flights.

Brown is running in District 13. His opponent is Rosanne Northwood. Read about the La Crosse mayor, city council and school board candidates on the WIZM election page.
