Crumbl Cookie Set to Sweeten Up Onalaska
Onalaska Mayor Kim Smith joined UW-La Crosse political science professor Dr. Anthony Chergosky on La Crosse Talk, discussing the highly anticipated opening of Crumbl Cookie. Fans of the sweet treat can look forward to the grand reveal next week. Mayor Smith, who is expected back in the studio to elaborate on the cookie craze, shared exciting details about further developments near Valley View Mall, including popular chains like Raising Cane’s and Panda Express.
In addition to sweet treats, the conversation shifted to important political updates in Wisconsin. Chergosky spoke about recent Republican legislation aimed at compelling businesses to accept cash payments. However, this proposed mandate comes with exceptions for large events, such as the state fair, raising questions about potential inconsistencies in application.
The discussion also delved into Wisconsin’s budgetary landscape, highlighting items Republicans have chosen to exclude from Governor Tony Evers’ budget proposal, including legalization of recreational marijuana and funding for childcare. Both the budget process and opportunities for public comment were assessed, prompting calls for improved handling of stakeholder engagement.
Additionally, the conversation turned to U.S. Senator Ron Johnson’s recent statements on potential Medicaid cuts. While many Republicans have claimed not to endorse such cuts amid nationwide protests against them, Johnson candidly shifted the narrative, advocating for reductions to address the national debt. His remarks have stirred significant debate among constituents concerned about the implications for vulnerable populations.
