Agree with Jim on this and it's an issue that goes way deeper than the Hurricane Center budget.
Not to get off topic but to keep making tanks we don't need to keep Lima afloat is wrong and in reality people move. Towns dry up when the school closes. Life goes on. New companies move in. It is part of the ebb and flow of life............or should be...............the way barrier islands are barrier islands are not meant to be restored endlessly.
My issue is going into furlough mode at the start of the Hurricane Season. Not that somehow they won't manage...they will but they won't be working at their highest and best ability. In December or January maybe... but not going into an active hurricane season.
The other problem is that working for the government has great benefits ie "good government job" but we lose a lot of the brightest and best to other employment venues who pay more ... so from my perspective we are already handicapped because of a talent drain and then this...
How many will stick around under the current conditions just for the "glory of working for the NHC?
People have families, lives, needs and am more worried on that than the typical "use it or lose it" mentality of all gov jobs.
A lot is broke, but I don't think May going into June is the best time to solve it
Just my thoughts on a timely issue that is being covered all over the news.
