"Sylvia’s strong leadership and dedication have been recognized through awards and her selection to assist with important initiatives. For example, she was appointed by Governor Butch Otter to the Leadership in Nuclear Energy Commission. Among her numerous honors, the U.S. Small Business Administration recognized Sylvia as a Small Business Person of the Year in 2008. In 2009, she received the Latina Women Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the Anna Maria Aras Memorial Business Fund and a Torch Award from the Better Business Bureau."

"I do not support a measure that would allow individual States to collect sales taxes on any on-line purchases regardless of which State an on-line retailer is located. As a small business owner, this legislation will affect me, because I often have clients that start our transaction out of State, and we do not have the staff to handle collecting taxes for 50 States."

"Many unions have an apprenticeship program where you can get the very best, most qualified and skilled employees to be able to come to your place from day one. One of those other benefits for me as a small business owner is they’re more likely to stay in my business so that I don’t have the turnover of constantly training new employees. I have the benefit of someone who is going to stay with me for a long time."

"As a small business owner and as a former cochair of the Wisconsin joint committee on finance, I’ve worked on budgets for years and years. We used to spend 8 hours a day, 3 days a week for 4 months making sure that each and every detail meant something in a budget because a budget is a statement of our values, where do we stand as a country, or, in that case, as the State of Wisconsin."
