How these numbers work
  • Counted from the official minutes, for 2024–2025 Board only. Committee meetings and routine votes (adjourning, approving minutes) are not counted.
  • Attendance counts the meetings where the minutes list Musto 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.

From the minutes

“Ms. Bradley moved to approve the Compliance Action Plan required by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, (EOHLC). The motion was seconded by Mr. Zoll. Prior to the roll call vote, Mr. Zoll shared a prepared statement. Mr. Zoll read a quote from John Adams, attorney for the defense of the British Soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre: "Facts are stubborn things, and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictums of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. The Law, in all vicissitudes of government, fluctuations of passions or flights of enthusiasm will preserve a steady undeviating course, it will not bend to the uncertain wishes imagination or wanton want and tempers of men." Mr. Zoll, an advocate for the MBTA Communities Act, noted that Milton lost more than it gained by not abiding by the law. The Board voted by roll call (2-3) to support a Compliance Action Plan required by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, (EOHLC). The motion failed. MUSTO: NO BRADLEY: YES KEOHANE: NO ZOLL: YES WELLS: NO.” (Motion: Bradley, second: Zoll)
