In one of the comments of another thread, someone raised the question of Councilman Sam Silers son being a supervisor in the department of Public Works. This is in apparent violation of GTs own Nepotism clause, which we have provided below. It is DISGUSTING that these feckless and soulless beings govern our town and have a solicitor who is thoroughly and completely corrupt in his own right and apparently does not know the towns own laws. Ever wonder why it seems like Mayor Mayer and his band of friends seem to make it up as they go along? Now you know. they really are. 2.73.2 Anti-Nepotism Anti-Nepotism: The policy of anti-nepotism is expanded to prohibit the appointment or continuing employment by the appointing authority or members of the appointing authority of persons related by blood or marriage to the appointing authority, or members of the appointing authority, who shall serve in subordinate jobs, positions or offices or for profit in the Township of Gloucester. No person who is a relative of any Township Appointing Authority shall be appointed and/or employed by the township unless such is recognized by statutory protection. This enhanced anti-nepotism ordinance is to end any preferential recognition of the relatives of local governmental officials.(Amended on 09-09-96 by Ord. O-96-35) DEFINITIONS: Nepotism: The bestowal of patronage by public officers in appointing others to offices or positions by reason of their blood or marital relationship to the appointing authority, rather than because of the merit or ability of the appointee. Appointing Authority: Shall be defined to include the office of the Mayor, Township Council, Department Heads, Statutory Boards, Authorities, Agencies and Committees. PROHIBITED: No Appointing Authority shall appoint, or employ with or without compensation, persons related by blood or marriage to any subordinate job, position or office or services for profit in the Township Government of the Township of Gloucester.
