WHEREAS, Idaho is our home — the place where we live and work and raise our
families; and
WHEREAS, Idaho is not immune to the blight of drug abuse that afflicts our entire
nation, harming families, individuals, and businesses; and
WHEREAS, the Association of Idaho Cities, representing the 201 cities in Idaho, has
launched a statewide campaign to end complacency, ignorance, and apathy about
the impacts of drug abuse; and
WHEREAS, We understand that winning the fight against drugs is only possible as each
sector of our society steps up to do its part and for us, as adults, to be role models;
and
WHEREAS, We know that 70% of current drug users have jobs and that up to half of all
Worker's Compensation claims are related to substance abuse in the workforce.
NOW, We declare we will do everything in our power to make Idaho drug -free; and
We will ask businesses in our city to adopt a drug -free workplace policies and
will lead the way within our own city organization, supporting legislation to
provide incentives for businesses which adopt drug -free workplace policies; and
We support Enough is Enough '99: March for Idaho by organizing all sectors of
our community to be involved, providing follow-up, and seeking new
opportunities for drug -free activities in our community.
We affirm that the battle against substance abuse and addiction is about our children.
We must help them walk drug -free through a drug -filled world.
