State Business Advocate Appointed
Tennessee Comptroller Justin Wilson has appointed the state’s new small business advocate.
Wilson says Lauren Varney Plunk will help businesses with at least 50 employees work through regulatory issues with state departments and agencies. The position was created last year by the General Assembly.
Wilson says she may also serve as a go-between to help small businesses and city or county governments resolve disputes or other issues.
Plunk has worked with the secretary of state’s office for nearly three years, most recently as an analyst in the department’s business services division.
