I would like to see resources for neighborhood revitalization in District 17. We live in a beautiful area but there are some structures that could use a little help. I know there are funds available to support the beautification of our area.
I would also like to understand how I could help the betterment of the entire county, I do not believe that the average citizen carries this mentality. When decisions are difficult, it becomes very easy to assign issues to a smaller group of residents: one issue might be “a city of La Crosse problem,” and another might be something “Holmen has to figure out.” Until the entire county starts thinking in tandem, understanding that what benefits one city or township will benefit the whole, we cannot expect to reach our fullest potential. We must all dream as one, protecting the young, fragile, and aged, providing attractive educational opportunities and career pursuits, and promoting all areas of the county as great places to live and to visit.
