Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the term 'communal employment' in Art. 12(2) LCom includes the office of mayor.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The term may be understood broadly and covers communal functions such as the mayoralty when the relevant issue is subordination and risk of collusion, not merely salaried labor.
Extrahierte Begründung
The wording is ambiguous; the purpose of the incompatibility rule is to prevent partiality, collusion, and erosion of supervision between closely related persons. The mayor's office is remunerated and functionally comparable to an employment within the communal structure.
