Small businesses are a vital part of the economy of the state of Florida.
In 1997, Florida had 355,426 businesses and 98.9 percent had less than 500 workers. Florida has a particular problem with its level of drug abuse. My overview of the state of Florida's incidence of drug abuse leads me to believe it is disproportionately higher than the nation as a whole. We continue to have an unacceptable drug and alcohol problem among workers in Florida and I applaud your efforts to reduce it by the creation of drug-free workplaces with sponsorship form the Small Business Administration. The Office of the Governor has endorsed this program by expressing full support.
