[sbe-eas] Florida CFO urges FCC to halt use of wireless emergency alerts

[Aaron Read]

Honestly, Sean, I'm mildly offended that you sullied our fine listserv with
this political tripe.  ;-)

But seriously folks, this is political pandering...no, it's
*scaremongering*...and nothing more.  I'm sure Patronis, a former State
Representative, Rick Scott appointee, and no doubt DeSantis acolyte, will
be screaming for the WEA system to be used when the next Category 5
hurricane destroys The Villages.
