On the recordDecember 8, 2015
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two outstanding local businesses in my district recently recognized in Florida Trend magazine. Local spots all over Florida help boost our economy and strengthen our communities. Two weeks ago, we celebrated Small Business Saturday and encouraged people to support small, local businesses. It is important we continue to shop small and keep our local communities growing. Two local establishments in my district recently received Florida Trend's Golden Spoon Awards and rank among the State's best restaurants. I would like to congratulate Dulcet Restaurant and Lounge in New Port Richey and Pearl in the Grove in Dade City. These awards are very well deserved. I am grateful to have such outstanding businesses in my home district, and I will continue my efforts to help small businesses thrive. ____________________
