Abstract

The Fairfax County Circuit Court has upheld the capacity of Reston Association to perform longterm planning without a referendum of Reston residents. That sounds like a no-brainer, but a former director of RA took it to court seeking to overturn a 4-year plan designed to improve RA’s nature center because it hadn’t been approved by referendum. As it happened, it hadn’t even been approved by RA’s Board of Directors. The judge dismissed the case out of hand, refusing the plaintiff both summary judgment and a trial.
