Subject: No kidding! Taylor would have been boots on the ground, getting her hands dirty doing SOMETHING whether it was handing out water, flipping pancakes, or organizing some sort of drive. Can we have her back for another year? Let this girl go to Miss America since it's clear that's all she cared about, and let Taylor actually BE Miss NC for another year? This is pitiful and a slap in the face to all of the girls who would have actually done something with the title.

Subject Author Date Taylor dropped out of school while she was Miss North Carolina and is part of a very wealthy and privileged family, that is a completely different scenario. Carrie's school understandably comes first to preserve her eligibility and SCHOLARSHIP is a point of the crown. She should not be expected to overextend herself to please the trolls of the voy board. No name 13:17:47 10/09/24 Wed Carli was in school and still managed to be a present and active Miss NC (NT) -- No name, 13:25:14 10/09/24 Wed Karolyn. Hell at this point give us Victoria back. Any of them would actually do something! (NT) -- No name, 13:42:55 10/09/24 Wed While yes, Taylor was privileged to take a year off of school for the duties of Miss NC, does not mean Carrie should be excused for the poor job she has done. Miss NC is Miss NC, whether you’re in school or working full-time. When a part of our state is destructed by a natural disaster, we expect Miss NC to do more than make a generic post on social media (days after the fact). Taylor is and will always be a pioneer and go down in the history books as a legendary Miss NC. (NT) -- No name, 13:59:19 10/09/24 Wed Honestly, they should go back to requiring Miss NC to take a year off so she can fulfill the duties of the title. I don't know why they started this business of letting the girl stay in school and try to do the job, anyway. (NT) -- No name, 14:59:23 10/09/24 Wed Is Miss NC relevant? I'm not talking about Carrie, I'm talking about the idea. Is a 20-something with the title of Miss NC relevant? What does a 20-something bring to the table to a politician to shape government policy? She's not making a campaign contribution. What business experience does Miss NC bring to the table to be relevant in a corporate boardroom or to a corporate event? She's never held a corporate job of any stature. So I'm not sure she has anything other than an opinion, a smile and a sparkling hat. There are teens in every city that have more followers on social media and have more influence. And they didn't have to win a pageant, wear a crown or subject themselves to judgement. All they had to do was be cute, speak well and put their angles on the gram. (NT) -- No name, 08:43:27 10/21/24 Mon The problem with NC is that they seem to have a great talent. What I mean is that they have a talent for picking the wrong winners in both teen and miss for years now. Contestants that would have broken the mold left for the most part. (NT) -- No name, 14:15:38 10/21/24 Mon The problem with NC is that there is always an agenda. Wouldn’t it be nice to have judges that aren’t friends with state committee members and sponsors etc. ? There’s issues here that go far deeper than one year. (NT) -- No name, 10:05:20 10/22/24 Tue Exactly. That is why I said the last few years. (NT) -- No name, 15:44:03 10/22/24 Tue The state committee is a joke. Judges at the state level are unqualified and literally sleeping on the job. They are friends with board members and have coached some of the delegates and one of them was staying with board member. How did no one see anything wrong with this? How has there been no removal from positions? Why do we put up with the same old mess and expect different results? It is insanity. Who is running this circus and allowing this mess?

(NT) -- No name, 09:57:49 10/28/24 Mon Thanks, Taylor or Taylor's mom---probably Taylor's dad--for commenting so selflessly. (NT) -- No name, 05:47:07 11/26/24 Tue Truth. There’s confidence and then there’s arrogance self-absorption.
