Rutgers Has Christie Confidence, Stack Targets Tax Deadbeats, 2013 Hurricane Season Forecast

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Tuesday that he has "absolute confidence" in the president of Rutgers University even as some lawmakers have called for Robert Barchi to step down amid a string of embarrassing revelations for the university's athletic department. Christie said he doesn't want to micromanage the university and won't weigh in on whether incoming athletic director Julie Hermann should start at the school as scheduled on June 17.

A state lawmaker wants to help the City of Philadelphia raise money for the school district by tracking down tax deadbeats. State Senator Mike Stack says the five part bill could help free up a total of $400 million in combined delinquent property,business and wage taxes. Lincoln Special Education teacher Louise Jordan says the schools need a short-term solution to stop the bleeding that would occur if the School Reform Commissionâ€™s budget passes this week.

The 2013 Atlantic Hurricane season officially begins June 1st, and an active season is expected.
A main factor this year for an active season is the lack of an El Nino. El Nino is warmer than average water temperatures in the equatorial Pacific, which can inhibit tropical systems in the Atlantic Basin. Another factor is that the water temperatures in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean are currently above average. This can help intensify any tropical systems that develop. It only takes one landfall to make for an active season, but forecasting when and where a storm will make landfall before it develops is impossible. The CBS3 2013 hurricane forecast is for 14-18 named storms, 7-9 hurricanes and 3-5 major hurricanes that are category 3 or higher. The Atlantic Hurricane season averages 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. The peak of the season is September 10th and it officially ends on November 30th.
