How these numbers work
- Counted from the official minutes, for 2025–2026 Board only. Committee meetings and routine votes (adjourning, approving minutes) are not counted.
- Attendance counts the meetings where the minutes list Emery as present or absent at the start.
- Only votes the minutes record member by member are counted. Voice votes and votes given only as a count (for example 6-3 with no names) are not.
- Percentages are shown only when there are at least 10 meetings or votes to count.
- A split vote is one where at least one member voted yes and another voted no. “In the minority” means on the side with fewer votes; ties are not counted.
- “Whole board” combines every member’s record for the same term.
These numbers describe the record; they are not a grade. A no vote, an abstention or a minority vote is neither good nor bad. MassVoter never rates officials.

March 30, 2026: Send a recommendation to the Planning Board that the Gordon Circle road bond not be returned
Mr. Woods would like to send a recommendation to the Planning Board that the bond on the road should not be returned
Voted: Yes
Ms. Emery first questioned the legality during the roll call, then voted yes.
From the minutes
“Mr. Woods would like to send a recommendation to the Planning Board that the bond on the road should not be returned. Mr. Donovan made that motion, seconded by Ms. Djusberg. Roll call vote: Mr. Bunker, yes; Ms. Emery, questioned the legality; Mr. Woods - the money has sat there for 20 years. Mr. Maresco - it is symbolic; it will send a message to future developers that are looking to come to Abington to do developments to finish their projects and get them approved because it's not fair to those residents that were unaware when they bought their houses that their streets weren't approved. We do plow streets unless they're posted not to plow. They have to be safe for our police and fire. Ms. Emery - we're just making a recommendation, and the Planning Board is making the ultimate decision? That's right. Ms. Emery, yes; Mr. Donovan, yes; Ms. Djusberg, yes; Mr. Woods, yes..” (Motion: Donovan, second: Djusberg)
