Whither The Weather

    

Senator Rick Santorum, R-Pa. has introduced a bill which would block federal weather information services from competing with the paid or advertiser-supported services of corporations such as AccuWeather and The Weather Channel.

Santorum ... "said expanded federal services threaten the livelihoods of private weather companies."

"It is not an easy prospect for a business to attract advertisers, subscribers or investors when the government is providing similar products and services for free," Santorum said.
