Four more years for the county administrator are at stake in La Crosse County meetings tonight. The county executive committee will meet tonight, before the regular monthly county board session. Supervisors will be asked to extend administrator Steve O’Malley’s contract through 2019, paying him 180-thousand dollars next year. O’Malley would also get 25 vacation days a year, along with 10 personal days off. The administrator has been a lightning rod for criticism from county residents who object to expensive county projects, especially on new buildings.
