Is it true that "so few women benefit from it"?

I do understand in hard times come hard choices. The Mayor's office has made it clear. This was not a hard choice because "so few young women benefit from it". I also believe the Mayor's office has it wrong! I quote from Mayor John Curtis on www.provo.org
"Growing up, I always thought of Provo as a magic place. As mayor, I want to make sure it continues to be a memorable place." I do not think he really understand what it is "Miss Provo" does and represents.
I want everyone to know it more then a crown and it is not a beauty pageant.I think it should be called the Community Service pageant, there is way more community service involved in Miss Provo then scholarship. Miss Provo represents the city of Provo in Miss Utah, Freedom Fest, Days of 47,Holiday parade, Springville, Payson, Pleasant Grove, Orem, Spanish Fork, Flag Day & Veterans Day ceremonies,Provo's parade, The 4Th of July parade,Strawberry days, BYU Homecoming, ribbon cutting for new business opening in Provo, she has a platform in which she does, community service, Children's festival not only does she raise money for CMN Children's Miracle Network she spends countless hours volunteering her time making blankets for those children or anything else they need help with. So Please Mr. Mayor, please tell me how "so few young women benefit from it"?

I agree with the Mayor..quote from Mayor John Curtis on www.provo.org
"Growing up, I always thought of Provo as a magic place. As mayor, I want too make sure it continues to be a memorable place."
I to want to make sure Provo is a memorable place a place where people from all over the state want to come and visit. How is it that taking away Miss Provo and everything she represents for this city is going to help in keeping Provo Magical?
Provo is such a HUGE part of Utah and the Utah culture. Provo is the second largest city in this state, yet you want to take away the Representative to represent us the city of Provo in these state wide traditions and functions?
Can you see it is not about a crown. Itis about loving Provo City and being proud of where we live. It's about showing other city's that we are"Provo Proud", we are Proud we live in Provo.
I want the city I love to be represented. I do not want Provo to be the blackeye or missing city from all of these statewide traditions.
I love my city and I want Provo to be represented so we can keep the magic alive.
