The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its embattled head Dr. Jane Lubchenco are again the target of criticism after the director of the National Weather Service, Jack Hayes, resigned abruptly on Memorial Day weekend.

An environmental watchdog group, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), informed the Washington Post when it learned that Hayes had been replaced and the story has since been widely reported.

Jut keep in mind that PEER is a bunch of left-wing environuts. They may be right on this one, but if so it's another case of blind hogs and acorns.

Privatize it as a non-profit through a consortium of U.S. colleges and universities, now that private industry can create and loft any technical assistance it needs, and the consortium can sell it’s data and analysis to any of believe and trust in their work. Keep the politicians and the dogma of government run scientific orthodoxy out of it.
