Questão jurídica principal
Whether the municipal president should have been recused for ties to a bank owning nearby land
Decisão extraída
The recusal objection was raised too late, since the appellants knew or should have known the circumstances earlier.
Fundamentação extraída
A recusal ground must be invoked immediately once known or knowable; the appellants could have objected when the opposition proceedings began, and in any event no timely challenge was made despite the president's known role.
