Veto Of Retirement At 65 Upheld By 14-7 Vote
La Crosse aldermen rejected an override of Mayor Knutson’s veto on a plan to gradually lower the retirement age to 65. The compromise would have 65 and older workers retire by 70 with 60–64 retirees in 1968, while 65+ would stay on until 70 under the mayor’s proposal. The vote and ensuing debate reflected broader staffing and health department concerns in Madison and La Crosse politics.
