Main Street North Little iock, Arkansas Dear Mr. Thompsons In your recent letter you ask for an opinion on the following question3 Can an Individual hold full time employment zis a county eaployee and at the same time serve as a member of a City Civil :'crvice Commission. In my opinion the answer to your question Is yes. ih conotitu- tional prohibition against dual office holding does not arAly to city employees, Ark. Const. Art, 19, f6. The statutory prohibition, Ark. Stats. (1947) (19-1601.1, prohibits candidates for political office or holders of political office from being members of a board of Civil Service Coimmissioners, this would Tiot include a mere employee. I trust the foregoing sufficiently answers your inquiry. Very truly yours, iOM GEiNTRY Attorney General ys opEN J. HRR1O Assistant A:ttorney G~enieral J1H~:pC
