    I have been a second home owner, that reviled group (even at times by the editors of the Star),…read more since 1987. David, your almost annual "good riddance" pieces do nothing to ingratiate you to people like me; after all we absentee homeowners pay for the bulk of services the Town of East Hampton boasts about. These services are, after all, a selling point, aren't they? For your community and for your publication at the very least. Mercenary? You bet. I am writing today, finally, because of the once again obnoxious restaurant review in your paper which I received via email. I will not name the restaurant as they are not at fault. You highlight a restaurant that features $25 burgers not always prepared to order, steaks at $59, guests being passed over for reserved seating for "in" patrons, be they "locals" or the wealthy, etc., etc.. You and anyone else familiar with this once lovely town know exactly what I am referring to. You and your cohort obviously dine at these restaurants as non paying (forgive the vulgarity) "guests"; your readers are, instead, expected to pay the exorbitant prices, often for second rate, though, highly touted by you, fare, often for subpar service. What I find unnerving is that you, as editor of the Star, which is supposed to serve the entire community, including those who can barely pay their bills, regularly genuflex to the owners of these outrageously expensive establishments. You simultaneously do not ever lose the opportunity to vaunt your liberal, dare I say, extreme left values in your opinion pieces. Have you no shame, sir, to quote a well known phrase.

    As far a local newspapers go, this is one of the best in the nation - or maybe the world. No…read morekidding. Rarely do you find such smart reporting combined with in-depth coverage of topics of interest to the town. Every issue is a testimony to the values of old-fashioned journalism. But there is a sad story here. Local newspapers are an out-dated business model and people, increasingly, are turning to the gizmo that you are reading this on now - not to mention not reading at all. The East Hampton Star stands for the best in what the media should be - a watchdog of government and the town-crier of events presented with intelligence and artful phrases. So go out and buy the latest issue now - while you can.
