Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the municipal building commission members and the municipal building administrator had to recuse themselves in the renewed decision on the road project.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The alleged personal interest, failure to force recusal of earlier biased members, prior procedural mistakes, and the building administrator's 'querulant' remark did not establish a constitutionally relevant appearance of bias.
Extrahierte Begründung
For administrative authorities, recusal follows Art. 29(1) BV and requires objective circumstances creating an appearance of bias. The remaining officials had no proven personal interest; the earlier non-recusal of others did not make them biased; the cited errors were ordinary administrative steps; and the 'querulant' remark, while unfortunate, did not show personal disdain.
