: 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... ::::Hello. 24 hours in a day. 2 full time jobs. 16 hours "work". plus travel, meetings , etc. and you believe this. do the words "no show" mean anything to you. if you get paid but you do not work, yes, Virginia, that is very much against the law. : : : : 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.
