La Crosse County Board chair Tryggestad on Civilian Review Board, future strategic plan

Tina Tryggestad, the new La Crosse County Board chair, stopped in the WIZM studio Thursday for La Crosse Talk PM to discuss her new role, planning for the board’s five-year strategic plan and new Civilian Review Board.

Began the show about how and if the board's work could change as the American Rescue Plan Act funding is basically allocated and there isn't this $22 million from the feds to use.

We then got into her becoming the chair (5:30), before getting into the board's meeting Wednesday (7:50) on a five-year strategic plan and what that looks like.

In the second half of the show, began (20:20) talking about the makeup of the board and harkening back to something Tryggestad said when she was elected president, about doing away with an 'us vs. them' attitude on the board.

Then we got into where the county is at with creating a Civilian Review Board (23:20) to potentially look at police activity in the county.

Ended the show (31:00) taking a couple calls, including one on the landfill and another on plastic pollution.
