On Wednesday, United States Senator Marie weighed in on NOAA’s now epic attempts to move to Oregon. The Puget Sound Business Journal reported that Sen. Cantwell is demanding a federal investigation into the NOAA’s attempted move. Specifically, Sen. Cantwell is seeking review from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Inspector General in evaluating the move, which will ultimately result in a loss of Washington jobs.
In addition, Sen. Cantwell volleyed several claims directed at the NOAA’s operations—stating that the investigation should include an analysis of NOAA’s business practices and whether the move is a result of the organization’s lack of due diligence. Sen. Cantwell decried the NOAA’s move, saying that “Taxpayers deserve better.”
