Considering escalating food costs, a $20,000 cap would significantly curtail any worthwhile profits for these small business owners.<\/p>\n<p>To position Wisconsin as a state open for business, it is imperative that we refrain from imposing undue challenges on small entrepreneurs striving to sustain their livelihoods.
