A 22 year old Sparta woman told police that two white men wearing ski masks and armed with semi automatic handguns entered her home in the 100 block of North Water st. and searched for something they thought was in the home.
After the pair fled on foot with the loot they were after, they were seen getting into a maroon 4 door sedan.
Police are looking for a 6'2" slim guy and a 5'9" heavy set guy.
Monroe County Fund Shot DownTuesday, 01 March 2011 09:27 | | |
A possible one million dollar fund that would have taken excess Monroe County department funds and put them towards construction of a justice center, will not see the light of day. Last week, the resolution fell short of the two-thirds requirement when supervisors voted 12-10 in favor of it.
The account would have set aside $1 million of unused 2010 funds for future construction of a Justice Center. Supervisors voted to eliminate $348 thousand that would have been taken out of the solid waste fund. Also cut was monies from the original $119 thousand of the unused 2010 balance of the Board of Prisoners. Board chairman Rick Irwin says a similar resolution may be brought before the board in the future. Walker Wants Democrats HomeMonday, 28 February 2011 21:24 | | |
It's time for the standoff to end, according to Governor Walker...
Wisconsin's Republican governor flew around the state yesterday, to La Crosse and other places. Walker says the state will lose out on millions that could be used to help balance the budget, if 14 Democrats do not return to Madison and vote on the budget plan by tonight. While the governor spoke to reporters inside a La Crosse airport hangar yesterday, a couple dozen union picketers were outside, hoping to speak to Walker. The governor says even if some collective bargaining rights are eliminated because of the bill, Wisconsin state workers will still have better benefits than many federal workers. |

The Green Bus ComethMonday, 28 February 2011 18:39 | | |
The city of La Crosse is joining the hybrid movement in a big way. Big as a bus, in fact. The MTU has this week put into service a new hybrid-diesel bus. The bus is a medium size, 25-seat bus that the MTU says is perfect for routes that go to French Island, Onalaska and La Crescent. The bus operates like a hybrid car, with the diesel engine and electric motor working in coordination to help boost efficiency without losing power. The $250 thousand bus was paid for entirely with federal stimulus money.
