Thanks again, Santorum
July 20, 2005 ( politics )
Santorum introduced a bill back in April to restrict the tax-dollar-funded National Weather Service from duplicating any service provided by commercial weather companies (like, perhaps, AccuWeather, who shares Santorum's home town?)
Lots of people support the NWS's data being open and free to the public, and unsurprisingly, only the weather business types support the bill.
It really pisses me off that our "representatives" are represent business over their consituents.
