Not registered?

You could vote if you register by Oct. 28. As author Rex Stout (a Brewster resident) once had his fictional detective Archie Goodwin say, "I have never understood why anybody passes up that bargain. It doesn't cost a cent, and for that couple of minutes, you're the star of the show, with top billing. It's the only way that really counts for you to say I'm it, I'm the one that decides what's going to happen and who's going to make it happen."
