HELENA, Mont. (May 3, 2021) – On Friday night, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a “food freedom” bill into law that legalizes the unregulated sale of home-produced foods from producers to informed end consumers, including raw milk and raw milk products. The enactment of this bill takes an important step toward rejecting a federal prohibition scheme in practice and effect and will undermine FDA control over food production.
Sen. Greg Hertz (R-Polson) introduced Senate Bill 199 (SB199) on Feb. 8. Titled
The Montana Local Food Choice Act, the new law prohibits a state or local government agency from requiring licensure, permitting, certification, packaging, labeling, or inspection that pertains to the preparation, serving, use, consumption, delivery, or storage of homemade food or homemade food products.
Summer is just around the corner but whether many Milwaukee artists will be playing summer concerts is still unclear.
Vaccinations continue all adults are eligible and the CDC has advised that fully vaccinated people don t need masks outside for small gatherings. Free summer concerts have been announced in recent weeks in Greenfield and at Wisconsin State Fair Park, largely featuring local cover bands.
Here s hoping it will finally be safe to see some favorite local artists during these warm weather months. Nevertheless, we re not going to see the floodgates for concerts open just yet. So buying music from Milwaukee artists is still the primary way to support them.
