Save NOAA and the science agencies
To: Sen. Tillis, Sen. Budd
From: A constituent in Charlotte, NC
February 5
Why is Elon Musk’s team being allowed to pillage the NOAA? After Helene, we in North Carolina know the importance of accurate weather data. Shutting down NOAA, on which the National Weather Service relies, will literally kill people.
Four Senate Republicans could work with Democrats to stop the destruction of all the health, science and technology infrastructure that the US built in the last century. And yet you dither. You must certainly know how important medical and other scientific research is to the Northern Carolina economy. Removing the billions of dollars of economic activity that those federal investments generate is poison for our state and our citizens. Have some courage and put a stop to this.
