The East End Is Talking About…State of the Union, Super Bowl, Taxes

The State of the Union is tonight, the Super Bowl still too far away, Oscar nominations are out and more topics people are buzzing about on the East End today.

Real Estate Signs—Does size matter? Apparently it does in some circles. The East Hampton Village Board discussed a proposal that would reduce the legally permissible size of real estate signs.

Oscar NominationsSteven Spielberg and War Horse did well, Madonna and W.E. not as much, and The Artist snags 10 nominations. Lesson: Pay close attention to what happens at the Hamptons International Film Festival.

Tax Cap—The Quogue Village Board voted for a public hearing about a possible plan to make ends meet by New York State’s 2% tax cap. Could other East End towns follow?

State of the Union Address—Speaking of taxes, President Obama will be tonight—along with a few other topics of interest, we imagine.

Super Bowl—Do we really have to wait a dozen more days until the Giants and Patriots tangle in the Big Game?
