The National Weather Service and the NOAA are government agencies fully funded by taxpayers' dollars. U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, the Senate's third-ranking Republican, has backed a bill that would restrict access to the weather information produced by these agencies to a few companies whose intent is to sell it at a profit. In other words, taxpayers will get to pay twice for the same weather report.
At least the guy that mugged me to steal my wallet had the decency to do it on a dark street and attempted to hide his identity with a ski mask. Republicans do it in broad daylight.
