Not sure. It looks bad, because it looks like with Sankey recused, there will be one less person to advocate for them. But on the other hand, if Sankey was going to protect them, it would be through his influence, not any actual vote, so recusing himself wouldn't necessarily mean that he's not exerting influence on their behalf, unless there is something formal in a bylaw or rule somewhere about what recusal consists of and what actions are prohibited by a person who has recused him/herself
