I check two websites every morning -- the Coastal Hancock County weather (https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?zoneid=MEZ029&FcstType=text&TextType=1) and then the Marine Zone Schoodic to Stonington (https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?zoneid=MEZ029&FcstType=text&TextType=1) both of these sites pinpoint the weather and the sea information for this area.... Not Bangor, not Portland, but for Hancock County and area. I count on the marine forecast when going out in a skiff, and the weather - especially in the winter since conditions can be so different along the coast to what it might be inland. The loss of these kinds of free information sites would be devastating. I don't want to have to pay for apps etc when my taxes are already funding programs that help the public. We should not have to pay more for this.
Not only free, but science based reliable information!
That is exactly what the Republican regime is bent on depriving us of.
While they are collecting our most sensitive personal data from IRS, Social Security, Medicare, VA, and everywhere else Trump and Musk have embedded DOGE operatives. To build a data base for their own profit. And to create their surveillance state.
