| Description: They felt they had a conflict in the case and they recused. It definitely happens. There's recusals that happen in cases. If any of the commissioners feel they have a conflict they will recuse out of the case. |
St. Louis County Republican Senator John Loudon says the commission failed to do its job.

4 votes out of the 6 commissioners were needed for a hearing.
