Biography

He served on the New Brunswick City Council from 1982 to 2010.[1]

From 2002 to 2010, Egan simultaneously held a seat in the New Jersey General Assembly and on the New Brunswick City Council. This dual position, often called double dipping, had been allowed under a grandfather clause in the state law enacted by the New Jersey Legislature and signed into law by Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine in September 2007 that prevents dual-office-holding but allows those who had held both positions as of February 1, 2008, to retain both posts.[2]

Egan is Business Manager for International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (I.B.E.W.) Local Union 456.[1]
