I have to go buy myself a senator so he will promote nonsense legislation like this. We paid for that data with our taxes. I want to see it. I trust the NWS more than the Weather Channel or AccuWeather.

You’ve got to be kidding
I used to joke that Republicans would love to find a way to outsource the air you breathe to a for-profit company. I’m not longer laughing.
Re:You’ve got to be kidding
I’m a Republican, but my God can they really be serious with this crap.
Laws like this are nonsense. There is a law that prevents direct flights from Florida to a Dallas airport (it was made when Southwest airlines started up) Only flights to DFW are allowed not direct flights to Love field where SW flew. This was passed ~20 years ago to limit competition to the major airlines. Too bad it didn’t work, SW is one of the few profitable airlines these days.

LOL.. don’t feel bad. I see Lefties come up with some weird stuff too. It’s one of the reasons I’m registered Independent. I don’t have to take ownership of the strangeness that comes out of either party.
