The now former Director's point should not have been a surprise. Former Senator Rick Santorum had tried several times to get a sweetheart deal for a Pennsylvania weather forecasting firm - to replace the National Weather Service. Typical Republican theme - replace a fully functioning government agency with a for-profit corporation.

Or of course hand out the function to a croney from such a fine commercial bizness.Like nominating a lawyer working to a keypost in the FDA blocking all information concerning the damaging effects of growth hormons and genetically modified staple from reaching the general public .Probably the biggest fraud in the history of the USA but unknown to the public opinion .You can thank Monsanto for that .They now own the FDA.
