Former district attorney candidate to run for Pa. attorney general, N.J. school board members need criminal background checks

    Good morning, Feeders!

    Tom MacDonald is at City Hall for the formal announcement of a Pennsylvania Attorney General campaign. You might remember Dan McCaffery from his 2009 bid for Philadelphia District Attorney. Tom will have the details on the McCaffery campaign and his opponents.
    Lizz Fiedler will check in with New Jersey educators on the heels of the news that 350 state school board members haven’t completed their necessary criminal background checks. What gives?

    Emma Jacobs will catch up with the folks behind Code for America. They’re coming back to Philly for a second round — a very unusual occurrence. What can we expect to see this time in terms of city data accessibility?

    Jen Howard will have the latest for us on the sentencing of Bonnie Sweeten. The Feasterville woman faces prison time for staging a kidnapping and fleeing town with her daughter.
