New president, new problems for Manhattan Beach
Just when the embattled community group in Manhattan Beach thought their troubles were over, a lawsuit was filed in the wake of an already contentious presidential election.
“You know one thing I have to give people credit for is that they came out to vote,” incumbent president Dr. Ronald Biondo said before the votes were tallied.
With 158 member households voting in an unusually packed auditorium at P.S. 195, Biondo lost Wednesday’s election to challenger Ira Zalcman, his vice president, 110 to 48.
“We really got sanity back,” said Zalcman following his acceptance speech, “and now we can look to the future.”
