This section shall be titled "Banning the use of Government
Buildings and Equipment for Political Fundraising."
[Ord. 6 S+FD. 11-1-2006 § 2]
Our laws in the City of Newark do not presently ban solicitation
or acceptance of political contributions by public office holders
and employees while in any room or building occupied in the discharge
of official duties.
Solicitation and acceptance of political contributions in rooms
and buildings occupied in the discharge of official municipal business
undermines the efficiency of government by taking officials and employees
away from the people's business, and leads to the appearance of improper
influence of political contributions on government functions.
Prohibiting the solicitation and acceptance of political contributions
in rooms and buildings occupied in the discharge of official duties
will address these harms and leave open ample alternative venues for
political fundraising.
Our laws in the City of Newark do not presently recognize the
misuse of public property for political fundraising as a distinct
offense.
It is accordingly found and determined that the municipality's
interests in an independent and efficient government workforce and
a government that is undermined by neither the fact nor appearance
of improper influence of political contributions on government decisions
require the prohibition of political fundraising in rooms or buildings
occupied in the discharge of official duties or through the use of
public property.
[Ord. No. 6 S+FH, 11-1-2006 § 3]
