Early voting for town and county elections starts this Saturday, October 28 and continues every day until Sunday, November 5. Voters can also cast their ballots at their regular polling places on Election Day, November 7. For more information on where and when you can vote, go to www.suffolkcountyny.gov/departments/BOE.

This year’s elections include the Suffolk County executive, all 18 county legislators, judges, town supervisors, and council members. Also on the ballot will be highway superintendents and receiver of taxes candidates. Check out next week’s edition of the South Shore Press for a complete candidate roundup and our endorsements.

Turning over the candidate ballot, voters will be asked to decide on two propositions: An amendment to the state Constitution that will remove the debt limitation on small city school districts so they will be treated the same as other districts and an amendment to extend for ten years the authority of counties, cities, towns, and villages to remove debt from their constitutional limits for the construction of sewage facilities.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
