Yes, for the ticket money from this year's pageant. But what about the rest of the money the organization was holding onto? You know, the money for local franchise fees, Miss Illinois Appearance fees, program book sales, merchandise sales, etc.? That money is in their possession, as it does not yet appear that they've turned it over to MAO. MAO needs to take tougher actions to rectify this situation. -- ILLINOIS Pageants Board

How would you even know if "any money" was turned over to MAO yet unless you are a board member.... get real! If everything is in limbo thanks to MAO, do you actually think anyone can even write a check at this point. AS and GS are out with no authority to sign checks... Marion has the money Mao is probably being shady as usual so let them be accountable for any payouts (NT)	No name	11:15:12 08/24/15 Mon
Lack of authority to write checks hasn't stopped AS and GS from throwing money at Crystal and Peyton so far. What changed? (NT) -- No name, 11:31:00 08/24/15 Mon NO, LACK of information! there are deadlines and cut off dates, if you want to know, contact MAO for answers ISA is done , checked out ya know ! (NT) -- No name, 11:37:04 08/24/15 Mon So ISA's responsibilities didn't end when they were fired, but have since expired and they are no longer required to pay for Crystal, am I reading that right? (NT) -- No name, 13:07:21 08/24/15 Mon REFUSING? I hardly think so! There you go, making stuff up again. They are not even in contact or active in anything anymore, It is the MAO Circus now with Marion as the new puppets. Illinois is a mess It may have started with AS but it falls on all who broadcast their thoughts and slanderous stuff like this just to stir things up while nothing is getting accomplished. I almost think everyone's out loud bitch sessions made a mockery out of Illinois. This could have been done in good taste, correctly! we will pay the price for damage control for the next 5 to 8 years. Two wrongs do not make a right, everyone here did not make this right so if you are gonna talk, say something constructive to move forward or shut the hell up! (NT) -- No name, 11:32:09 08/24/15 Mon It was not STARTED in good taste so it probably won't end in good taste. We.'re all sorry the whole thing even happened. It did not have to go this far nor continue past the initial resignation. Many people were told how bad it was going to get before it blew up but they wouldn't stop. So, here we are. (NT) -- No name, 12:14:14 08/24/15 Mon Nine years of damage won't go away overnight. No one chose all this to happen to them. Let's remember why we are in this situation to begin with. (NT) -- No name, 12:23:27 08/24/15 Mon So, wait. Did ISA pay other commitments to Crystal and Peyton after they had been fired or not? And are they now paying for Crystal to fly to AC or not? If not, what precipitated that change? I'm not being snarky. I'm just trying to figure out what people are making up and what is fact. (NT) -- No name, 13:04:39 08/24/15 Mon
