My impression is that the Democrats are believers in big government, and lots
of government services. Seems like they would be supporting expanding the NWS
services since they are a visible government service which helps save lives
of both pilots and boaters.

Maybe I'm wrong on that though (sigh).

NWS is very underfunded. I know the gentlemen who ran the office for
the weather faxes and you wouldn't believe the heart ache they go
through and few resources they have.
