HARRISON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — To the victor go the spoils.
Newly-elected fire commissioners in Harrison Township have made major changes to a resolution that lasted barely three months. The Harrison Township Fire District has all but overturned regulations passed in January that precluded volunteer firefighters from holding a seat on the board of commissioners.
The resolution, which some volunteers and commissioners at the time claimed was a political measure to discourage firefighters from running for office, now allows volunteers, and states instead that fire commissioners cannot double as paid firefighters, business administrators or department chiefs.
