Committee member asks whether to recuse from vote; answer: no recusal required
Summary
During an unspecified local meeting, a committee member asked if they needed to recuse from an upcoming vote and was told “No.” The exchange occurred as the member raised procedural concerns before moving on to other agenda matters.
A committee member asked whether they needed to recuse from an upcoming vote, saying they could not in good conscience "look out," and sought guidance from other meeting participants. When the member asked, “Do I need to recuse myself from that vote since I can't look,” another participant responded, “No.”
The brief exchange resolved the member’s immediate concern without a recorded formal motion or written ruling. The meeting continued with additional remarks from the same member on town records and infrastructure matters.
No formal vote on recusal was recorded in the transcript and no specific reason for potential recusal was stated.
