The appraisal that the East Hampton Town Board agreed to have done on the alleyway behind The Ronjo has come back. Drumroll please! Jerome Haims Realty, Inc. has valued the 20-foot-wide strip at somewhere $30,000 and $40,000?in line with the original $32K figure Bill Wilkinson "plucked out of the air." And, as expected, town Democrats are already calling the validity of the appraisal into question, raising concerns about how it was conducted and how the firm responsible was selected.
