Good morning, South Jersey.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill visited Camden on Tuesday to thank first responders the day after thunderstorms caused intense flooding — and to promote her fight against data centers.

And experts are saying poverty is impacting three times as many state residents than what’s recorded in official federal measurements.

Plus, a man allegedly tried to buy a Pokémon card worth $24,000 with fake cryptocurrency in Marlton, and more news of the day.

Gov. Sherrill’s post-storm visit

Gov. Sherrill visited Camden a day after what local officials call the worst flooding they have ever seen in the city.

American Red Cross workers have been providing cleaning supplies, snacks, and water as residents navigate the aftermath. No injuries had been reported, but there were more than 1,000 calls to emergency services, and 14 people were rescued from the flooded streets.

Sherrill urged residents to report damage through the Office of Emergency Management so the state knows how much federal assistance to request.

She also thanked the first responders and touted her recently signed legislation aimed at data centers, which she said would help prevent strain on the power grid during future storms.

The Inquirer’s Aliya Schneider has more details about her visit and legislation.

Experts say state poverty is higher than official federal figures

According to the federal government, 859,000 New Jersey residents are living in poverty, based on the latest statistics available.

But a new report from Poverty Research Institute of Legal Services of New Jersey (PRI), a legal aid nonprofit, says the figure is closer to three million.

People who live at or below the federal poverty line qualify for assistance such as SNAP, Medicaid, and school meals. The issue, according to experts, is that even people with incomes twice the poverty rate still need help when considering the actual costs of housing, childcare, food, and healthcare. It doesn’t help that New Jersey has the third-highest cost of living among states.

“Life’s a struggle,” said one Camden resident whose family makes just enough to be above the federal level. “I would say this feels below the poverty line.”

The number of meals that the Food Bank of South Jersey has distributed to Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Salem Counties has increased by more than a third over the last four years to compensate for rising food costs.

According to PRI, the following are the true poverty rates:

• Burlington County: 27.2%
• Camden County: 38%
• Gloucester County: 29%

The Ben Franklin Bridge turns 100

Construction of the Ben Franklin Bridge began on Jan. 6, 1922, with the intention of it being completed by the Sesquicentennial on July 4, 1926.

It was built after an intense push from political leaders when it became clear that relying on a ferry service was inadequate after Philly’s expansion, Camden’s population growth, and the rise of car use.

It officially opened on July 1, 1926, to pedestrians with lots of fanfare, and it allowed cars the following day.

100 years later, the bridge moves:

🌉 100,000 vehicles daily.

🌉 New Jersey’s PATCO train carrying 20,000 passengers every day.

The Inquirer’s Jasen Lo breaks down how the major bridge came to be and how it impacted the region.

In related news: Reporter Stephanie Farr walked across the bridge for the first time to celebrate its big day and documented her experience and learned its history along the way.

📧 Have you done the trek? Email us to let us know how many times and how you liked it. I’ve done it only once (but would do it again) and it was a bit steeper than I thought it would be.

P.S. Keep the party going at the bridge’s official celebration — think of it as a belated birthday party — on July 11. The festivities will be on the Jersey side near the toll plaza and, yes, the bridge will be closed to car traffic to accommodate.

Cherry Hill’s Hindu temple is approved for a new look

The Cherry Hill Township Zoning Board greenlit plans last week to transform the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, a Hindu temple, through an 18,330-square-foot expansion.

The renovations would add a new gym, lobby, prayer hall, and more.

Its current form looks like a warehouse because that’s what it was before becoming a temple in 2002.

The plans — which include adding three shikharas, tall spires on the roof — would alter the appearance of the temple to be more in line with traditional Hindu styles, according to the project’s architect.

Although the zoning board’s approval is a big step forward, there’s more that needs to happen before construction can begin.

Reporter Sarah Nicell has more insight on the project.

Plus: New Jersey’s role in the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship ruling

🎤 Allow me to pass the mic to South Jersey politics reporter Aliya Schneider.

Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and attorneys general from across the country celebrated the Supreme Court of the United States’ ruling that President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship is unconstitutional.

The 6-3 vote comes more than a year after former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin announced he was leading a multistate battle against Trump’s order back in January 2025, calling it a “flagrant violation of our Constitution.” Davenport, who has carried on the fight, said at a news conference Tuesday that attorneys general began preparing for the challenge when Trump was still on the campaign trail in 2024.

“Today the Supreme Court affirmed what courts, legislators, and the 14th Amendment has guaranteed for more than a century: birthright citizens are Americans,” Davenport said. “This is the foundation of who we are as a country.”

Gov. Mikie Sherrill said in a statement Tuesday that Trump’s “malicious attempt to tear down this guarantee was so plainly unlawful and reckless that his own hand-picked Supreme Court said no.”

Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, who were both appointed by Trump, agreed Trump’s executive order was illegal though Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, also a Trump nominee, disagreed with the court’s decision. But Kavanaugh argued that the order was against federal law, not the Constitution, and suggested Congress could take action instead.

For more details on the Supreme Court ruling, reporter Jeff Gammage has the story.

Good morning, South Jersey.

A small but mighty group of Collingswood residents are fighting to legalize backyard chickens.

And hospitals in New Jersey could lose an estimated $3.6 billion through 2032 because of Medicaid changes.

‘Let the chicken people have their thing‘

The push to lift Collingswood’s ban of chickens has been an ongoing effort for years.

But after new leadership joined and reshuffled the board of commissioners, a small group of residents thinks this could be their year to finally get the green light to have backyard chickens.

Advocates have been showing up at board meetings lately. And most recently, they provided proposed language for the board to use in a future ordinance to support it during its last working meeting earlier this month.

In the past, commissioner and former Mayor Jim Maley has said he would not support a backyard chicken pilot program. Meanwhile, Deputy Mayor Amy Henderson Riley said she suspects this effort has better chances than the ones before.

Reporter Sarah Nicell details the specifics of what advocates want in the proposal.

P.S. Read the article for the local government news, but stay for the chicken pictures.

N.J. hospitals could lose $3.6 billion

During a panel discussion in Cherry Hill last week, Inspira Health Network CEO Amy Mansue said New Jersey hospitals could lose about $3.6 billion from Medicaid changes through 2032.

According to Mansue, these changes will force hospitals to alter the way they operate to bring expenses in line.

That high-figure estimate does not include the costs that hospitals absorb from the growing number of uninsured people who show up to emergency departments because they don’t have the money for a doctor’s visit.

Almost 69,000 people’s individual coverage from New Jersey’s Affordable Care Act marketplace have already lapsed, and thousands more are expected to lose their Medicaid coverage when new requirements go into effect next year.

The Inquirer’s Harold Brubaker explains the hospitals’ regulatory hurdles and workforce development efforts.

Plus: Gov. Sherrill’s visit at SoccerFest26

🎤 Allow me to pass the mic to South Jersey politics reporter Aliya Schneider.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill visited the SoccerFest26 fan fest at the Wiggins Waterfront in Camden on Friday afternoon.

“These are kind of heavy times, they’re kind of dark times; there’s a lot of conflict going on,” Sherrill said in brief remarks on stage in front of a scarce crowd during her Friday afternoon visit. “But what I love about soccer is, it doesn’t matter where you’re from, doesn’t matter who you voted for, it doesn’t matter who you pray to. We all come together as a world.”

Officials credited Sherrill for including South Jersey in World Cup festivities. Former Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration planned to hold a large fan fest in North Jersey but Sherrill’s administration canceled that plan and instead organized regional celebrations.

Her Camden visit came just days before the state budget deadline on Tuesday. The governor agreed on a budget framework with legislative leaders a week before the deadline, but the details remained unclear.

“I’m getting a little more concerned,” she told reporters on Friday. “And so I know they [legislators] are hard at work and I’m going to keep reminding them of the constitutional deadline.”

Sherrill proposed massive funding cuts to various South Jersey programs in her March budget proposal. But because of cuts she’s found in the budget with legislative leaders, there’s money for lawmakers to “really push into their local projects,” she said. Rowan University’s veterinary school, a medical center for abused children, and Hispanic Women’s Resource Centers are among the many causes asking for a piece of the pie.

What to know today

• A 50-year-old man was shot and killed Thursday night in Camden. It’s the city’s third fatal shooting victim this month after a homicide-free summer last year.

Pleading for state funding

Hispanic Women’s Resource Centers were established in 1991 to address the wage gap for Latinas in New Jersey, one of the states with the biggest gap for Latina workers.

Under Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s proposed budget, the statewide initiative could see its funding decrease by 80%.

These centers help women like Consensa Francisca Silva Silva who was able to obtain a work permit, make a down payment for an apartment, and start working thanks to the assistance she was able to receive for one of these centers in Camden.

“It was very hard to come here without knowing anyone, and it was really hard because at first I couldn’t find any work,” Silva said about her experience when she first arrived from Costa Rica.

Silva and other supporters worry immigrant women like her won’t get the support they need if the cuts go through.

The Inquirer’s Aliya Schneider has the latest information on the budget process.

Medford bans data centers

Medford sent a clear message this week: No data centers here. Its council adopted the ordinance to prohibit them, despite not receiving any formal applications for a center.

“These are extra precautions to ensure that we don’t move forward in a direction that we can’t come back from until we know full well what the impacts of data centers will be,” Medford Mayor Michael Czyzyk said.

Council reserves the right to amend the ordinance to permit data centers in the future.

Medford is the latest South Jersey community to resist data centers, including Cherry Hill.

A new fight to stay in the U.S.

More than a year after the small restaurant Jersey Kebab made national headlines and inspired widespread criticism of ICE when agents arrested the owners, their son is now fighting a similar battle.

The federal government informed Muhammed Emanet, who left Turkey when he was 12, of its intention to deny his request for a green card, with a 30-day window to present new or additional information to try to persuade the U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services to allow him to stay.

No one knows for sure what happens when the deadline comes up next week.
