Social Work Funds Cut and Library Budget Increase in La Crosse County
La Crosse County Finance Committee trimmed the social services request by two social workers and about 28 000, while restoring funding to a four county library system with a revised 15 000 county share. The panel maintained a 23 000 library request after earlier cuts and debated city residents’ double taxation as city supervisors oppose funding the system. A separate vote eliminated a 15 000 worthless check program tied to the district attorney’s office.
