[EL] Local election news

[John Tanner]

Ilya’s post reminds me — I noticed an article recently about a Fairfax County VA PTA (I think) election in which a dissident group won seats on the board and the state association has decided to abolish that PTA.   I’m sure I have some details wrong, and welcome correction.  It ties in with an earlier comment about abolishing elections, etc
