Johnson City has a good reason to celebrate May as national Small Business Month--the state's top small business owner is in our own back yard.

Elisa Comer, founder and CEO of Eagle's Landing Transcription Service, recently was named Tennessee's Small Business Person of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration. State officials caught on quickly to Comer's success; she's been here only 15 months, but Comer insists the admiration is mutual.

I've said that if someone wants to start a business in Tennessee, they should be required to own a business in other states so they know how good they've got it," she said.
