Parking Assessment the Same. AgainTuesday, 20 July 2010 09:01 | | |
There's been plenty that's changed about La Crosse's downtown business parking assessment over the years. Originally, the assessment was put into place to take the place of revenue that was lost from parking meters removed to help downtown complete with the mall. Now, the money goes to offset parking utility costs in ramps. It also raises a bit more cash as property grows in value, says Tony Hutchens, in the city's public works department. In 2001, the parking assessment raised about 75 thousand dollars. About a hundred thousand this year. But, as business owners in downtown La Crosse have recently learned, the parking assessment this year will stay at about two bucks per thousand, the same it's been since the mid eighties when the assessment was put into place.

Holmen Crash Investigated As Students MournMonday, 19 July 2010 11:31 | | |
It may take several days for state troopers to figure out exactly what happened in Sunday's fatal crash between a La Crosse County squad car and a second car on Highway 35.
Patrol Lieutenant James Lind says the first report is usually due within 10 days of an accident. Sixteen-year-old Brandon Jennings, a Holmen High School student, died in the collision. Lind says it hasn't been determined yet if Brandon had a green light as he entered 35, just as the squad car was driving north with flashing lights and a siren on. Meanwhile, the Holmen High School library is open until 2 this afternoon, so students can talk to counselors about the crash. Teenager Drowns In Jackson CountySunday, 18 July 2010 12:07 | | |
