Why won't the ATA collect state fees at the U.S. Open?

    The ATA will not be collecting fees for the ISTA at the U. S. Open. Why is that? There may be many reasons. Or none at all.

    I report you decide.

    Interesting that all the clubs in Illinois are at a disadvantage and the members of the ISTA foot the bill.

    If I were Gipson and I had a business on the midway I would want the shoot on my venue to be cheaper. Just saying.

    Since it was the ATA who made the agreement to manage the U. S. Open tournament for the IDNR, one might wonder why they did not waive the their fees instead of the ISTA not collecting State fees. The State Association is more likely to be in need of the funds.

    How about instead of ISTA members Don't Care......

    ISTA members DON'T KNOW

    Remember, we are all informed on a "NEED TO KNOW" basis, and what they don't know, they can't ask about.
