Mayor Mitch Reynolds’ last La Crosse Talk

La Crosse Mayor Mitch Reynolds makes his last appearance on WIZM’s La Crosse Talk, as we reminisce about the last four years, talk about the highs and lows, and how things are set up for a new mayor and members on the council.

La Crosse Talk airs weekdays at 6-8 a.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk wherever you get your podcasts.

Reynolds’ last official day as mayor will be Tuesday, as Shaundel Washington-Spivey gets sworn in, as well as six city council members — four totally new.

We discuss some of the accomplishments he’s made over the past four years, as well as his biggest disappointments.

We also talk about the role of a city administrator — as there’s a good chance that position gets created — plus the consolidation of department heads that happened over Reynolds’ time and if there has been a lot of communication between him and Washington-Spivey. 

Reynolds ended the conversation on continuing the tradition of La Crosse mayors coming on WIZM monthly, which he began with Mayor Mark Johnsrud when first hosting La Crosse Talk PM in the mid-2000s.
