FLUSHING, NEW YORK, March 21, 2006: The group of devotees who challenged the legality of the Board of Trustees of the Flushing Ganesha Temple and caused court-ordered elections have posted a report on the results at “source.” The original board won the election handily. However, the fact the election was called at all means — to our understanding — that the board is not “self-appointed” as the original members claimed, and that elections will need to conducted at regular intervals in the future. At “source,” the challengers question the results of the election, although HPI understands the results have been certified by the court supervising the case.
