Subject: #5 Cheating by its nature is a covert act. Steven's covered his tracks. He and the BoD will circle the wagons and defend themselves with "where's your proof" (so when you demand the original scoresheets, you will end up proving they're in order). It's not against the rules for him to invite his drinking buddies he's made at Miss America the last 20 years to judge his pageant. They are all highly qualified judges. It will look like a perfectly legit competition on paper! Author: ... [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:56:13 07/07/21 Wed In reply to: ... 's message, "#4 As much as you would think Lora may have been aware of the strings that were being pulled for her by Steven, I don't feel comfortable signing a petition which calls her personally a disgrace. At this point, this is an issue with how Steven operates Miss Ohio. I think the focus should be on sorting him and the board out and put aside any discussion of her until after that." on 14:48:09 07/07/21 Wed [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: #6 Shantel Krebs MA Interim Pres & CEO says it's perfectly acceptable for a state sponsor to personally sponsor a contestant financially. That doesn't make sense to me as Jeff could threaten to pull his $4,500 in sponsorship dollars if Steven didn't pick his special girl. Jeff could also sweeten the MO general fund by sponsoring her People's Choice win and covering all of her prep costs for Miss America so the board doesn't have to. This is where the view of "buying the title" comes from. So the "it's not fair he spent twice as much as she won to promote her to Miss Ohio" argument means nothing to Miss America. Author: ...

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: The pageant will appear legit on paper and MA doesn't care if a sponsor dips her in gold, so where does that leave the contestants who were cheated? You have lots of verified conjoined activity by Lora and Jeff, which looks unfair and honestly, quite creepy in that a 54 yo unmarried man is so involved with a 20yo girl. Dig into that 'special relationship' and why he's running her nonprofit out of his house, rather than her parents running the show.
