What ArlNow should be writing about

Arlington County Virginia is facing a declining tax base, due to federal downsizing which affects Arlington.
As a result, Arlington is proposing reducing spending, through such measures as eliminating a branch library.

But how much of the local government structure, including its school system, is pure bloat?
Take a look at this organization chart for the top level of the APS school system:

But this is an issue which, as far as I can tell, the local news site

ignores.
