No More Dual Office Holding in New Jersey

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Finally, the state legislature passed a bill that will ban dual office holders in New Jersey. Though the bill won’t be in effect until February of next year, it is one of the best pieces of legislation that this crazy state has been able to come up with in the last few years.

One of the major fiscal problems in New Jersey revolves around paying salaries to our elected officials. Some of these folks are double and triple dipping into the state’s pocketbook! Enough is enough. Sure, I understand that a few public servants around the state are going to be forced to give up positions where they really are helping people, but it really is for the greater good.

And what’s better is that the newly opened positions will allow other people to become a part of the elective form of government. When you have consolidation of power, it’s a bad thing for everyone.
