On split votes, Manupelli voted the same way as…
- Vincenzo Stuto56% (5 of 9)
- Liane Gonzalez44% (4 of 9)
- Stephen O'Leary44% (4 of 9)
- Richard Wallner44% (4 of 9)
How these numbers work
- Counted from the official minutes, for 2020–2021 Board only. Committee meetings and routine votes (adjourning, approving minutes) are not counted.
- Attendance counts the meetings where the minutes list Manupelli 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.

MOTION BY: MR. O'LEARY SECONDED BY: WALLNER Mrs. Manupelli states the penalty must be more considerable, maybe a 30 day suspension. Mr. Stuto agrees with 30 days but not to revocation. Mr. O'Leary is looking for the Licensee not to appeal the 14 day suspension and to accept the punishment and move on; a thirty day suspension could lead to the ABCC to remand it back to the Town or not agree to the suspension, he wants to send a strong message and avoid litigation. Mr. O'Leary further stated he would like the Licensee to agree in writing to a 14 day suspension. Mrs. Gonzalez inquired if there would be a problem if they did appeal to the ABCC, she said to let them appeal. Mrs. Manupelli doesn't think a vote should be taken based on fear of an ABCC appeal. Mr. O'Leary stated the motion is not made out of fear of an ABCC appeal, he is trying to be practical about the process, and he doesn't want litigation. Mr. Delaney responded to Mr. O'Leary and stated Lucky Mart would accept the 14 day suspension and waive any appeal rights to the ABCC. VOTED BY: MR. STUTO NAY MRS. GONZALEZ NAY MR. WALLNER AYE MR.
