BREWSTER – If you thought last year’s select board race was tight with a six vote margin, well, 2024 produced an even tighter result. After the final 10 ballots were counted, Amanda Bebrin held off Laurel Labdon by a three-vote margin, 1,458 to 1,455 for. In the second board seat up for grabs, incumbent Mary Chaffee racked up 1,685 votes to win her third term as a select person. All told, 2,068 people voted. Last year Labdon lost to incumbent Ned Chatelain by six votes after a recount.
