Oklahoma Weather Tracking Licensure Legislation

There were a lot of strategies and psychological tactics we used to fight this bill. I don't want to discuss details because we may need to use similar tactics with future bills. HB2426 was a mess by calculated design. Multiple, private conversations with legislative and public safety sources also helped. The biggest losers of this fight are the TV stations. They have now placed their crews under the constant microscope of chaser and public scrutiny -- to be plastered on social media. I warned Channel 9 this was going to happen, but they ignored me.
This--plus people need to know the truth about who issues warnings, how they are issues, and how the news stations have their bottom line at heart and NOT viewers' safety. (I am speaking in particular of the OKC station whom lobbied for the bill).
