Homewood story lacked fairness

Dear Publisher,

One specific question I asked Austin [Fay] was if he would give a fair review of what transpired at the Friends of the West Shore meeting 7/2/10. He seemed taken aback at my question, however, after reading his article, it is both unbalanced and unfair to all who attended.

There were at least 8-10 people at the meeting of approximately 20, who are very much in favor of the [Homewood Mountain Resort] project. Several of those people spoke and all are full-time homeowners and taxpayers, concerned about the environment and economic sustainability of this community. In fact, economic sustainability was discussed several times, not just regarding JMA’s ownership of HMR, but the impact to the entire West Shore businesses and not mentioned in Austin’s article in that context.

Additionally, I never made a public comment about NIMBY’s or CAVES. That was something that came out of a “private conversation” with Austin on the sidewalk as he was about to get in his vehicle.

So, my thoughts about lack of fairness came true, much to my disappointment.

Sincerely,

Rob Weston, West Shore business owner
