I guess it would come down to the moral issue... can a politician REALLY make good decisions about his constituents when his own Full Time job is at stake? I think not... : : I'm not a lawyer or expert on NJ law. But I do not believe there are any laws against holding two municipal positions in NJ. However, other states like MA do have laws against this, and we probably should as well. I only see this as a problem when it poses a serious conflict of interest.
: : : : The people who hold two jobs, are they breaking any laws? If so please inform me. : : : : : : : : : The pay is good considering it's P/T, and yes, a candidate would need a F/T job to get by. But it's quite another thing when one seeks two municipal jobs whose duties come into conflict with one another--Spinello. For example, would an incinerator executive sanction her employer for not picking up your garbage? : : : : : : : : : I noticed that the councilpeople only make crumbs to begin with. Who can live off of 24000 or 22000? Maybe a college kid. I see nothing wrong with trying to pay your bills. Because if you don't you will have some psycho posting all your tax business. Then you will really be a criminal.
