All buttered up: Restaurants weigh in on old law

Did you know about his Wisconsin law?

Should Wisconsin keep pressing businesses to avoid margarine, or is it time to finally say goodbye to its buttery agenda?

A quirky Wisconsin law intended to protect the state's dairy industry by making it illegal for restaurants to serve margarine as a replacement for butter is being targeted for repeal. The 44-year-old law is celebrated by some as a colorful part of the Dairy State's past. But the law has a loophole: Restaurants can abide by it simply by serving both butter and margarine.

The battle over margarine's place in the country was seriously debated after its invention in 1870. The agricultural community, led by Wisconsin's strong dairy interests, saw the artificially produced margarine as a threat.

Chicago's jobless rate rises to 10.4% in August

September 22, 2011

(AP) — The Illinois Department of Employment Security says unemployment rates have fallen in 11 of the state's 12 metro areas.

But the department says the Chicago area saw a slight bump in its jobless rate. It rose to 10.4 percent in August compared to 9.7 percent in August 2010.

The largest declines occurred in the northern Illinois city of Rockford and in Danville in east-central Illinois.

Rockford saw its jobless figure drop by 1.6 percentage points to 13.1 percent. That remains the highest metro-area rate in Illinois.

DeKalb Businesses assemble to explore county’s draw

By NICOLE WESKERNA

Scott Gilmore looked at locating his company in several surrounding communities – including Huntley, Rochelle and Dixon – before settling in Sycamore last year.

Gilmore, founder and CEO of Smart Motion Robotics, said while DeKalb and Sycamore have higher taxes than other communities, the close proximity to major highways, the potential labor pool and the goods and services offered by the two communities ultimately drew the company to the area.

During a DeKalb County Economic Development Corp. business roundtable Wednesday at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau building, representatives from three area companies shared why they decided to locate in the DeKalb and Sycamore area. The roundtable, “Resources that Attracted Business to DeKalb County,” also gave representatives a chance to talk about any hurdles they encountered when moving to the area.
