Dual positions will end
EDISON — While state lawmakers toy with the idea of putting an end to dual-office holding, township officials yesterday announced plans to enact a law banning municipal employees from moonlighting and holding multiple positions.
Mayor Jun H. Choi said he would adopt the law and other ethics standards through executive order in the near future, joining Woodbridge as the only municipality in the county to forbid employees from taking jobs that would pose a conflict of interest.
"This is innovative stuff," Choi said. "You don't have that many models around."

Algeria: Policemen and Firemen throw blows at road traffic accident
Drama unfolded at Elmina on the Elmina-Takoradi highway in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) Municipality of the Central Region on Saturday when police officers and Fire Service personnel put aside the ethics of their profession and exchanged blows after two articulated trucks crashed at Elmina junction.
The fight ensued when the officers were arguing over who was responsible for directing traffic, after the accident occurred.
This was because when the accident occurred, the KEEA Municipal Police did not respond to the urgent call to direct the heavy traffic so the firemen had to quench the fire while some residents helped in the traffic direction.
When Daily Guide got to the accident scene at about 7.50 pm, one policeman by name Simon, dressed in a smock (fugu) with police reflectors, said he was ready to face the Fire personnel since he alleged one of the firemen had beaten up a superintendent.
An angry Simon, who could not control his temper, started raining insults on the firemen for almost an hour, compelling observers around to ask whether the police officer had really gone through the ethics of the profession.
Residents of the area who were not expecting the awful behaviour from the policemen started pleading with them to stop but they did not.
One of the firemen from the Regional Fire Service Command in a Tundra with registration number FS 306 was head-butted on the mouth by one of the police officers, compelling him to bleed profusely on the mouth.
Daily Guide observed that the Fire Service personnel who could not stand the heavy blows from the police had no option but to leave peacefully for the police and other civilians to direct the traffic.
The civilians however hooted at the policemen for their incompetence and unprofessional conduct shown in the discharge of their duties. The Elmina Police Command has been accused by residents of not responding early to calls on accidents and other cases.
The accident, according to an eyewitness, happened at about 7. 30 pm when two articulated trucks from Ivory Coast, heading towards Accra and Takoradi respectively, crashed.
