I think in realizing equal opportunity and having a society and system of government that encourages and enables everybody to bring their full selves to the table that is really the root of our being productive. “If people feel left out and angry or demoralized because of discrimination then they are less inclined and energetic to be everything they can be, and I think our strength is in being everything that we can be,” added Davis. “When Gov. Kernan first took office one of the things we began to work on quickly was the backlog of minority and women business owners who were waiting to receive certification from the state. We have lowered that number from nearly 700 in 2003 to 166 this year, and have taken in about 500 more applications.”
