• Just one month after Riverhead’s Republican Party decided not to back incumbent Town Supervisor Sean Walter for re-election this fall, many partisans are crying foul over Mr. Walter’s renewed interest in a long-languishing ethics proposal whose sole immediate impact would be to force Riverhead Republican Party Chairman Mason Hass, who also serves as an elected town tax assessor, to choose just one of those two roles. The Beacon’s full story is online here.
