Peaking flood waters will recede this afternoon but not before causing havoc in homes, on the roads and mass transit around Philadelphia. We got more than a month's worth of rain in one day – close to 7 inches in some areas. Rising waters stranded cars and busses. Several people had to be rescued from floodwaters. Fortunately, there have only been minimal injuries (photo Jim Melwert).

New Jersey has 60 days to find an $800 million solution as an income tax shortfall leads to questions about cutting spending. Tuesday, Governor Christie said that making a $1.5 billion payment to the state pension fund by the end of June remains a priority but not untouchable. Officials say not making the pension fund payment could hurt the state’s ability to borrow money – making it tougher to do projects as simple as re-paving roads riddled with potholes.
