The Star-Ledger, and sister publications will end print editions in February. Our president @PKBNews is quoted in @Gothamist about it. "He said local outlets are crucial in a state underserved by major-market outlets in Philadelphia and New York." gothamist.com/news/njs-large…

Your leaders with @TheNJSPJ covering a wild scene in Camden last night. Also, shoutout to @MLBURNEY, who is also my @nabjphilly veep, for staying on a very tough situation involving the president of the Camden school advisory board. #NewJersey

Michael Aron took NJ’s political pulse for 40 years, speaking with governors, Senate presidents, Assembly speakers, U.S. senators and chief justices. He left us with this mantra: “Remember, if you’re a reporter — New Jersey never lets you down.” ow.ly/aXmp50SY57H

Rest well Michael Aron. He always treated me well when I was on Press Row at the statehouse. A class act.

For myself, I remember watching his reporting online when I lived in Maryland. They were concise, detailed and informative. It’s clear why he was the dean among the state house press corps. (3/4)

It is not cliche in this instance to say that he was the gold standard when it comes to covering politics and government in our state. Whether you were just starting your career or are a veteran, he was what every reporter aims to be: accurate, fair and professional. (2/4)

From our President @PKBNews, regarding the release of @WSJ reporter and N.J. Native Evan Gershkovich: “We are relieved to know that Evan Gershkovich is a free man from an unjust conviction in a rigged court trial.” More ===> conta.cc/3A5k52G #IStandWithEvan

We cannot possibly CONDEMN the sham that is the conviction of Evan Gershkovich any louder. We do so in the strongest possible terms. Our government needs to do what it can to secure his freedom.

Yesterday, hundreds of thousands in NJ voted against corruption in our politics, sending a clear signal they are fed up with back room deals and favors for the few. In order to have accountability and ultimately trust, we must have transparency. This law moves us backwards and as a result lessens credibility and trust. I am so disappointed to see this signed today.

Thinking back to this Tweet as @GovMurphy signs the OPRA overhaul bill.
I absolutely oppose the proposed bill to gut New Jersey's OPRA laws. Read my full statement here:

Because it's what I do, I'll break down Murphy's cowardly signing statement in this thread (in no particular order): 🧵(Gonna release tweets as I go since reporters are writing stories)
