Howard Hanna calls for recusal of judge in Gibson commission suit
Briefly

Andrea Bough, a Kansas City council member, faces scrutiny for her financial connections to attorney Dameron and decisions in pivotal real estate lawsuits. She recused herself from a case against a gun manufacturer linked to a donation but remained involved in the Sitzer/Burnett case despite controversial rulings that favored plaintiffs. Additionally, the donation ties of lead attorney Ketchmark to Bough's campaign raise concerns about impartiality, particularly as the real estate industry copes with lawsuit fallout post-NAR's $418 million settlement over inflated commission rates.
The controversial decision by Judge Bough to rule the Sitzer/Burnett case as per se rather than rule of reason significantly influenced the jury's findings against the NAR.
Dameron's financial contributions to Bough and his connections to the Sitzer/Burnett case raise questions about conflicts of interest in ongoing lawsuits within the real estate industry.
