MOTION BY: MR. STUTO SECONDED BY: MRS. GONZALEZ Mrs. Manupelli states there is merit to having this suspension effectuated sooner rather than later, which she thinks was the premise behind Mr. O'Leary's choice of dates. Mr. O'Leary states as far as the punitivness and the message that is being sent over a holiday, the message is the same, the impact is still five days and is significant, it sends a message to this licensee and all licensees. He further states he is not looking to be as punitive as some of the other Board members. It appears as though that there may be a majority, so he will reluctantly support it. He would like the record to show that the earlier dates as previously proposed would be sending the same message. VOTED BY: MR. STUTO AYE MRS. GONZALEZ AYE MR. WALLNER NAY MR. O'LEARY AYE MRS.
