In a move that demonstrates East Hampton's elected officials can sometimes work together, the town board finally authorized an appraisal for the alleyway behind the Montauk Beach House. The decision to do so only came after area Democrats gathered enough signatures to hold a permissive referendum to block the sale. Rather than continuing the political bickering, all five board members voted for the moving ahead with an appraisal. Hopefully, the matter of who does the appraising won't become an issue. Although, seeing the actions of the board over these last few weeks, that's doubtful. [27 East]
