Carterville council urges Miss Illinois board to reconsider
Carterville City Council urged the Miss Illinois Pageant board to reconsider replacing Shanna McNeill with the runner up after injuries from a sliding glass door incident. The council demanded clear rationale, affirmed McNeill’s $5,000 scholarship and gifts, and questioned timing of the decision while noting McNeill’s arm injury and uncertain whereabouts. The meeting also annexed land, denied a zoning change for duplexes, banned public drinking, and established a use tax on out of state vehicle purchases registered in Illinois.
