Carli Lloyd Court, Obama Approves NJ Disaster Aid, Katie McGinty Resigns

U.S. Women's soccer star Carli Lloyd's whirlwind victory tour stopped in Evesham, New Jersey on Wednesday, where the World Cup champion received a hero's welcome. The township gym, known as the Blue Barn, has been Carli Lloyd's training facility since 2003. She returned as a hero to hundreds of young summer campers. Carli, the World Cup MVP, came to the Evesham Township Recreation Center amid near deafening cheers to learn that the court that felt the sweat of her athletic inspiration, now bears her name. "Welcome to Carli Lloyd Court." Township officials presented Lloyd with a ceremonial key.

The White House has approved New Jerseyâ€™s request for federal disaster relief for four South Jersey counties hammered by a storm last month that left some 300,000 people in the dark, many of them for days. Last monthâ€™s storm cost municipalities and counties more than 15 million dollars to clean up. This declaration will allow FEMA to reimburse those costs at the rate of 75 cents on the dollar. Some local officials blasted the Christie Administration for what they saw as slow response to the storm. It took the Governorâ€™s office three weeks to get the information together for FEMA. The federal response came in nine days. This declaration does not provide help for homeowners and small businesses affected by the storm. The state assessment determined that most private businesses and homeowners were covered by their own insurance.

Governor Wolfâ€™s Chief of Staff, Katie McGinty, has resigned and is expected to jump into the race for the Democratic US Senate nomination in Pennsylvania. A Wolf administration source confirms that Katie McGinty has resigned as chief of staff. Speculation has been running high for weeks that McGinty would challenge Joe Sestak for the US Senate nomination.
