Tried to put $5 into my account so an incarcerated person at a NJ jail could call me. The company that runs the phones, @ViaPathTech , charged me $8.25 -- more than 50% in fees. Unlike in NYC, calls from NJ prisons/jails cost $. There's a bill to make them free, but it's stalled.

20 years ago today I started my career as a full-time journalist, @dailyrecord . I wore a tie, because I looked 12, and I drove my Toyota Celica to cover zoning meetings in East Hanover, NJ. My byline was “Matthew.” I loved every moment. Journalism is all I ever wanted to do.

I commend A.G. Sessions for selecting Craig Carpenito to be New Jersey's United States Attorney. Craig is an outstanding lawyer & the type of decisive leader the office needs. I am confident he will be a U.S. Attorney that New Jersey will be proud of today and in the years ahead.
