Popular pizza joint is expanding to the east side of Waukesha this summer.
When Joe Scrima opened Scrima’s Pizza in June, long-time residents who remembered the original Scrima’s Pizza – which closed in the mid-1990s – asked him when he’d open on the east side of Waukesha. The pizza place is located in Dave’s Mobile at Silvernail Road and Grandview Boulevard. But for the second location, Scrima said he looked at several locations before finding the perfect place. Scrima’s Pizza will be opening a location in Woodman’s Food Market when it opens this summer. While there will be ovens for a limited amount of baking, the primary pizza sales will be take-and-bake pies. “We are excited about getting in there,” Scrima said. “Hopefully, it will go (well).

Lifeway Foods, producer of frozen kefir and probiotic cheese products, might bring back the Golden Guernsey brand of milk but …

Online shoppers, who enjoyed avoiding paying sales tax for their out-of-state purchases, probably won't be happy if a bill pending in Congress becomes law. The Marketplace Fairness Act, which passed 69-27 in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, allows states the authority, and option, of collecting taxes on Internet and catalog sales. The act does not create a new tax. But it does allow states the option of collecting the taxes, which they are already owed. However, the legislation does exempt small businesses that make less than $1 million from collecting the tax. U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) voted for the bill, but Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) did not. “Today, I joined a bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate in support of the Marketplace Fairness …
