Opposing NWS LayoffsSo how do you feel about your president’s desire to keep America safe now? Only six months after the worst hurricane season in history, what would you do? Of course, cut back on the very professionals we depend upon to let us know where the hurricanes are and where they are going. Freakin’ insane!
As part of a cost-cutting measure, the National Weather Service (NWS) is proposing to offer early retirement to as many as 1,000 employees nationwide, including 68 in Florida. This is the most ridiculous budgetary policy decision I've ever heard. We are dealing with a matter of life and death here, and I will use my position on the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees the NWS, to fight any loss of veteran forecasters at a time when the state is especially vulnerable.
Thank goodness for Senator Nelson’s sane voice in this insane world.
