pro forma margarine A better butter bill DENVER — A group of lawmakers is attempting to trim some fat from the law books with a "better butter bill." A Colorado House committee on Wednesday approved a bill to amend a law by eliminating a requirement that whipped butter made in the state contain at least 80% butterfat. State Rep. Bill Webster proposed the bill not because of its effect on butter producers or consumers — it's just that no one produces butter in Colorado, so the law isn't needed. The debate lightened the atmosphere after days of wrangling over congressional redistricting. Webster, who has taken substantial ribbing for his bill, said, "I don't want anybody to get whipped up about it."
