“The Queen of the West, we had a committee placed from November of last year. Somewhere between November and a month ago after elections in March, everything just eroded. Like I said on the station this morning, I’m not the person that will micromanage. But the candidates decided to fall out and I cannot force people to do what they don’t want. So I expressed my I mean my apologies for that but I can tell you that next year around I have a vibrant committee that will make ensure that we have enough delegates to have the Queen of the West pageant.”
