Why would anyone want to cut funding for the National Weather Service??
President Obama has threatened to cut funding, the GOP has also. The NWS does tremendous work and has improved in lead times for tornadoes and other severe weather alerts. It makes no sense to cut funding for a government operation that actually helps people. Please, don't cut this vital program!!
