La Crosse Mayor Reynolds on housing, homeless, taxes and parking

La Crosse Mayor Mitch Reynolds in studio discussing homelessness, housing, taxes, city services and parking. After talking old cars and Olympics to begin the show, we got into how the city council has multiple special meetings on homelessness, right before Thursday's monthly meeting. To start the second half of the show (17:00) Reynolds brought up the city's pool situation and how one could potentially need to be closed. That led to a discussion about the balancing act the city council needs to maneuver between maintaining city services, increasing city revenue or raising taxes. After that (25:00), we discussed housing as a way to raise revenue, including having FEMA remap the city's floodplain. Lastly (29:50), we discussed  La Crosse's parking situation, as the parking utility is running at a deficit.
