Many of the large funded agencies push out dollars to small buisness across the state which generates revenue for individuals and taxes. While a small business owner may be no less qualified to win an award, and should be thanked for what they do, many women in government manage multi-million dollar entities. These jobs do feed their families, and the families of thousands of Mississippian’s. MBJ must look at the entire package and not just if the person runs a small business.

As far as I can tell, Ms. Sullivan has never even worked for a business much less owned or managed one. Judging from the other candidates as well, this award should have been “State Employee of the Year” since about half of them do not even work in the private sector. Again, just insulting to real business women all over Mississippi.
