DeSantis weighed in on the topic on Tuesday.

“Florida’s small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy,” said DeSantis. “I am proud to recognize the importance they play in our communities and I am committed to enhancing an environment that supports entrepreneurs’ creative energy. Florida will continue to support small businesses by reducing government costs and interference whenever possible.”
