A few weeks ago I remarked that the number of judicial recusals in the Leonard Lawson bid rigging case was sounding like a Commodores' song, "One, Twice, Three Times a Recusal". Actually, the tune is more like Queen's "Another one bites the dust" as the funky finger of foreknowldge may fall upon Judge Forrester who is the father-in-law of highway industry lobbyist, relatively speaking that is.
See earlier post at Are the recusals in the bid rigging case of robed roulette or recusal round-robin event? Now its Judge Karl Forester!

One of the defendants in the case, road contractor Leonard Lawson, owns companies that are members of the association. His son Steve Lawson is a former president of the association.
