Speakers:

La Crosse city leaders held a special Sept. 23 meeting to review proposed department budget reductions and decide whether to meet the state Expenditure Restraint Program (ERP) threshold—a choice that would preserve an expected $1.7 million payment in 2026. Directors outlined specific service and personnel cuts that would total roughly $406,000 to qualify for ERP; no formal vote was taken.
