George Ahto, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Charles Weaver and Herman Klein, Defendants-Respondents

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey upheld the constitutionality of L. 1962, c. 173 and held that it permits the legislator‑type official Mr. Klein to retain his two elective offices, and it found that the common‑law incompatibility doctrine does not bar Mr. Weaver from simultaneously serving as mayor of North Bergen and as a legal assistant to the Hudson County Counsel. The Court affirmed the lower court’s judgment for the defendants.
