Who can be removed from the Connecticut Real Estate Commission by the governor?

The correct answer is that members can be removed after being heard, which underscores the principle of due process. This means that if the governor seeks to remove a member of the Connecticut Real Estate Commission, the member has the right to a hearing or an opportunity to present their side of the case before any action is taken. This procedure ensures fairness and accountability, reflecting a commitment to just governance within regulatory bodies.

The process of removing a member without cause would violate fundamental principles of fairness and due process. Similarly, removing members solely for not attending meetings would not accommodate any extenuating circumstances that may prevent attendance. Furthermore, while violations of state law could be grounds for removal, due process still requires that the member be given an opportunity to be heard on the nature of the alleged violations before any removal is finalized.
