MADISON, Wis. State lawmakers are once again debating a hotly-contested issue: Should Colby be the official cheese of Wisconsin? Lawmakers who represent the cheese’s hometown say yes.
The Assembly Committee on Local Government convened Wednesday to debate Assembly Bill 311, which would declare Colby the state’s official cheese.
“We are not saying Colby is the best cheese. We all have different palates for cheese,” Sen. Kathy Bernier, who represents Colby, said during Wednesday’s hearing. “But what we are saying is that Colby cheese is the cheese that put Wisconsin on the map as the world’s greatest cheesemaker.”
