La Crosse mayor candidate Chris Kahlow on experience, city administrator, bringing in revenue

La Crosse mayor candidate Chris Kahlow in studio discussing her experiences for the position, some of the accomplishments she’s had on city council, her position on hiring a city administrator and what needs to be done to help bring revenue to the area. Kahlow, who has been on city council for six years, talks of some accomplishments they’ve achieved there like a massive tree planting program and some small business aid that came during COVID, like lowering liquor license fees and allowing outdoor seating in parking spaces.  We also discussed the potential of hiring a city administrator and where she stands right now in that process. That led to a conversation about the city’s budget and her votes over large-item pickup and charging for the brush drop-off site.  Other topics discussed included her recommendation to leave the District 5 city council seat open, how La Crosse could bring in more revenue through housing promotion, and how she feels on outreach with the public.  La Crosse Talk airs weekdays at 6-8 a.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska).
