Dear Editor:
Our congratulations should go to Freeholder Chairman Silverio Vega for initiating the suggestion to name the press section at the Freeholder Chambers the “Peter Weiss Press Row” in honor of the recently departed Jersey Journal columnist and reporter.
The resolution to take that action, introduced by the Freeholder Board as a whole, pays homage to a journalist who strove to bring us the truth. It was fitting that Chairman Vega, who has opened the government process to the public with such innovations as night meetings and increased time for public participation, initiated the idea. Both, in their own ways, have made Hudson County government better for all of us.
Sincerely yours,
Valerie D’Antonio
