And do that behind closed doors and not make a media circus out of it?

If that means the BTA will not release funds until local vendors are paid, the BTA may be creating the very problem it identifies. In order to pay the vendors, the organiser needs promised funds. But the BTA says the promised funds will not be released until the local vendors are paid.

Around and around and around we go.
