Just found out that Meg's grandfather is on the fair's board. Another unfair advantage! -- ILLINOIS Pageants Board

I understand what you are saying about the appearance issue, but Meg is a wonderful girl. She is gorgeous, very smart, and well spoken. If the purpose of these comments is to effectuate change in the system, I support it. However, please don't trash Meg. She is awesome. (NT)	No name	19:47:38 09/20/16 Tue


Meg is an outstanding young lady and nothing but kind. Admins please remove at least last please remove her full name. I also want to add, the directors did not judge the pageant themselves but brought in an outside panel. (NT)	No name	19:56:14 09/26/16 Mon
The directors brought in a judges panel that they probably know. I'm not saying that Meg didn't deserve to win, but the directors should eliminate as much as possible any appearance of impropriety or conflict of interest. This is why there are rules about this in other systems. Whether Meg's name is here or not, people can google this and find her name. This isn't about Meg anyway. No one is saying she didn't deserve to win or isn't a perfectly delightful young lady. This is about the directors and their lack of judgment and professionalism. Ultimately, it is THEY who have tainted this win for Meg. (NT) -- No name, 08:43:43 09/27/16 Tue I agree about the appearance of impropriety or conflict of interest. You are incorrect that they can google this and find her name whether it is fully listed or not. If her last name is not listed, it will not come up in a google search for her. I would appreciate it if the moderators would remove her last name. When people post about others, I think it is fair to not list the first and last name of anyone who has not graduated from high school. Let's be a little less Donald Trump on this Board. I do appreciate the poster's comments and agree with most of them. (NT) -- No name, 21:49:14 09/28/16 Wed With all due respect, I just googled Miss McHenry County and it took me less than five minutes to find Meg's last name. (NT) -- No name, 08:53:49 09/30/16 Fri
