Chicago Shuts Down Ice Cream Entrepreneur
A few years ago, Kris Swanberg, having been laid-off from her job as a Chicago Public School teacher, remembered she received an ice cream maker as a wedding gift. The Chicago mom fished it out of her kitchen cabinet and eventually started a new career.
Today Swanberg’s Nice Cream — on sale at local Whole Foods and farmers markets — is considered a star of Chicago’s rich and beloved artisanal ice cream scene, one that could be shut down entirely by state rules, she recently learned.
She says that a couple of weeks ago a representative from the Illinois Department of Public Health came to Logan Square Kitchen and informed her she’d have to shut down if she did not get something called “a dairy license.”

More govt red tape and they wonder why business does not start up or progress. One village in our area will not let the home owner replace a hot water heater, shower head, tear down a falling down outbuilding, etc., without a permit. Just more hassle and other ways to grow govt employees and gather more money. Nothing like stiffling progress where local govts and congress just does not have a clue that they are to blame.
