Hoffman concerned about County Debt Service

11/13/2014

 
Hoffman voted against the $191.4M La Crosse County Budget and in opposition to placing this excessive tax burden on the residents of La Crosse County.

Supervisor Hoffman stated, "The 2014 budget included an 8% increase in 'Debt Service', and the 2015 budget, as presented, included another 7% increase with planned increases for the next two to three years.  Continued increases of this magnitude are unsustainable.  We cannot continue to borrow at these levels."

Hoffman works to stop vehicle registration fee (Wheel Tax)

11/12/2014

 
Today, Supervisors Richmond and Hoffman moved to have the La Crosse County Ordinance requiring a $20 per vehicle yearly registration fee sent back to the committee.  Hoffman stated, "This concept has been brought up before and was overwhelmingly rejected by La Crosse County residents."  In addition, Hoffman urged the residents to stay vigilant as this is bound to come back before the board.

Supervisor Hoffman also worked with supervisors Burke, Doyle, Kruse, and Berg to secure a $40,000 grant from La Crosse County to aid in the reconstruct and rehabilitation of the Fred Funk boat landing in the Town of Onalaska, which gives access to Lake Onalaska.  Funding for the grant came from the environmental impact fees payed to La Crosse County as the result of the CapX2020 transmission line and resulted in no increase in taxes for La Crosse county residents.

Hoffman takes issue with Borrowing for Roads

11/3/2014

 
La Crosse county Board Supervisor Hubert Hoffman stated his concerns over borrowing money for road reconstruction.  "We need to set priorities in our budget, and then budget accordingly.  By borrowing money for road reconstruction now, we are ensuring our children will still be paying for these roads in the future."


Others on the La Crosse County Board have referred to borrowing to pay for road projects as “a shell game.”
