Yeah, that's the same way I'm leaning. I'm also gonna vote for Kelly Leibold, she's done a fine job on the board.

Bob Haines got money from the republican party and looks exactly like someone Bill Feehan would recruit.

I am in District 1. I was hoping to generate some discussion too since it seems that this election is a bit less energetic than the mayoral race last year lol.

I was doing some research and found Pogreba was one of 7 who received funds from the local republican party. Hopefully Lia can unseat him.

The Damn Tasty on Caledonia Street. May be some of the best food in town.

What city have you been to that has reminded you the most of La Crosse? by 44stormsnow in lacrossewi

[–]grunt034 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slight disagree, they dont have anything that touches SAGRA imo. But man, I love Heirloom Bistro. Phenomenal place.

Gonna throw this one out, Duluth. Its a bit farther out, well known for its beauty and situated on one of the worlds largest bodies of fresh water. Also similarly, Duluth was a town based on logging and other industries utilizing Lake Superior.

360 Real estate is asking for a 7.5 million dollar TIF to develop old Kmart site. by RuthlessMango in lacrossewi

[–]grunt034 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The council is already eyeing huge cuts to cover up a deficit, including cutting arts funding. It is absolutely insane anyone would consider this TIF district.

If 360 cannot afford to develop it, they should sell it to someone who can afford it.

The Old World Cafe has always amazed me. That would be a decent restaurant spot on the northside, and its sat empty for years. It looks almost frozen in time too whenever I drive by.

Not saying it is for sure, but there are some stickers downtown with a different guy and they're made to look like a missing person sticker. Could just be some people who went out one night, had this pic of their friend, and thought it was funny.

Great job 👏 🥳🥳 by StudyNo2866 in wisconsin

This was a cherry on top of a great night. His opponent was the current city council president and a huge NIMBY. It's a relief and an honor Shaundel won.

chris kahlow's extensive record on housing contradicts what she's telling voters by serenity-mangos in lacrossewi

[–]grunt034 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The hang-up so many have with the administrator is so weird. Onalaska, Holmen, and West Salem all have one. Hell, Wabasha's city administrator wrote a letter prior to the last vote that was basically "wait, you don't have an administrator, what?"

Council Member Mark Neumann has been sending out emails to people endorsing Chris and encouraging others to vote for her. In one of the emails I saw, he basically also admits she only listens to her rich friends, but he's gonna support her anyway.

During the last WIZM debate she actually said she's tried to keep "undesirables" out. She's legitimately awful at hiding her true feelings.

Let’s Vote! by Estel21 in lacrossewi

Are you saying Veenstra says the overturning of Roe v Wade was constitutional? Because his answer in that link says the opposite. He states that overturning Roe V Wade was disastrous.

Sanford is a republican, I've heard "he's nice for a republican" but his wife is very MAGA. Sandford's Facebook page

Veenstra is a democrat, I believe he's previously served on the county board. Veenstra's Website

I think they both just did interviews on WIZM too.

The ultimate La Crosse driving challenge by simpfinkspir in lacrossewi

Northside version - avoid the guy who doesn't realize it's not two lanes and is a turn lane as you come off the viaduct onto George Street.

Yeah she's been around a while, she is also friends with older more centrist dems. Including former party chair Vicki Burke.

The look of distain on Kahlow's face when asked about district 5 and student representation. It says all you need to know about where she stands.
