Thompson Says County Can Lease Tract
La Crosse County may lease land in Vernon County to expand Goose Island Park Wisconsin. Attorney General George Thompson ruled that the county can lease the property enact park regulations and enforce them with sheriff and traffic police. The proposed addition lies within two thirds of a mile of the county line across which the island’s northern area is La Crosse County and the southern Vernon. the northern land is a federal lease to La Crosse for a county park while the southern part is leased to the Badger State Sportsmen’s Club. Vernon County backs the plan and avoids annexation via the AG opinion.
