Show Notes
Over one hundred colleges sue federal agencies, alleging illegal dismantling of National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. The lawsuit, led by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, targets the National Science Foundation and others, claiming its part of a retaliation campaign against Colorado. The plaintiffs allege this stems from the states mail-in voting system and the prison sentence for former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters over election tampering. NCAR employs over eight hundred scientists and staff who support hurricane forecasts, wildfire warnings, and NASAs monitoring of solar activity. The lawsuit also claims the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ended a multimillion-dollar research deal and plans to sell NCARs Mesa Lab to a for-profit firm, which they say breaks federal rules. The consortium hopes a court injunction will halt the actions and declare them unlawful.
