The city of La Crosse wants to fix La Crosse Street, scratch that, needs to fix La Crosse Street and is willing to jump. TO do it now. With hopes of getting it paid back from the State of Wisconsin in the future. The state says nope, we are not going to pay that. The reason given is that the DOT leaders cited Wisconsin State Statutes as the reason, which says local roads that carry state highway traffic through cities can receive state aid when the road reaches the end of its life, but there is no statute letting municipalities bill the DOT for repairs made before that time. Do you think that we should go ahead with the repair or should we wait until the state feels it is time to pay up.
