[1980 Code § 118-1]
This section bans the use of government buildings and government
equipment for political fund-raising.
[1980 Code § 118-2]
Political contributions have a profound impact on government
decision making; and our laws in New Jersey do not presently ban solicitation
or acceptance of contribution by public office holders and employees
while on public property or by use of public facilities; and a conflict
may arise between the business of political fund-raising and the business
of government in Borough Hall and other government-owned premises,
and this may cause a distraction from the people's business;
and the most appropriate method to prevent his conflict and to ensure
the integrity of government decisions is the prohibition of political
fund-raising on or by use of public property; therefore, it is accordingly
found and determined that the paramount public interest in a clean
and accountable government requires the prohibition of political fund-raising
on public property or by use of public facilities.
