Independents Week Officially Declared by Governor Janet Napolitano
“Small businesses are critical to Arizona’s economy, comprising more than 90 percent of the businesses in our state. Whether they cater to neighborhoods, specialty services or other consumer needs, it is clear that these operations serve a vital role in the state’s and local communities’ success. That is why I proclaimed June 30-July 6 as ‘Independents Week’ – recognizing the considerable contributions small businesses make to the state.”
-- Governor Janet Napolitano
