Talk:Walsh Act

Repealed?

I did not want to put this in the article because I am not sure about and have not researched it, but: Hasn't this statute been repealed, preventing further adoptions of the Commission form of government? (While at the same time preserving the form for any municipality that already has it, unless and until they decide to adopt a Faulkner Act form of government.) I believe the same is true of the 1923 Municipal Manager statute, which is especially superfluous given the Faulkner Act. Does anyone know? Neutron 22:41, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure myself. I've done tons of research on the New Jersey forms of government, but I'm not sure if a municipality can adopt either a Walsh Act or 1923 Municipal Manager form. I'm pretty certain that you can no longer switch to any of the traditional forms (e.g., Village, Borough, Town, Township or City). I will continue to check this out. It would seem logical that only Faulkner Act forms would be permitted, and furthermore, the features of the two intermediate forms are largely available in the various Faulkner forms. Feel free to sign up for WP:NJ, which is a complete anarchy, but has succeeded in creating huge amounts of information about New Jersey. One day we may organize, but until then ther's so much to do and so few hands. Alansohn 01:31, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
