According to an article in the <A target="_blank" href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orl-asecgrayson-hurricane-center-062062709jun27,0,3886177.story">Orlando Sentinel</A>, Grayson is pushing for a new $50 million hurricane research center to be built in Orlando. He demanded that such a hurricane research center be built in exchange for his vote for the controversial climate change bill passed Friday by the U.S. House, the <A target="_blank" href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-2454">American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009</A>.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1250">However, I think Grayson's proposed new hurricane center is a bad idea. Florida already has a world-leading facility for hurricane research, NOAA's <A target="_blank" href="http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/abouthrd.html">Hurricane Research Division</A> on Virginia Key, and does not need another.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A389AA9D-F4D6-49FE-B8D2-D417F68BEEA4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
