Federal workers who were not let go say the layoffs include meteorologists who do crucial local forecasts in offices across the country.
The firings come amid efforts by billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency to shrink the federal workforce.
“The Trump administration laying off National Weather Service forecasters makes us less safe,” said Governor Beshear. “We’ve had 13 federally declared disasters since I’ve been governor. This last one took the lives of 23 people. It would have taken the lives of so many more but the National Weather Service predicted it. We had over a week to get boat crews out. They made a thousand rescues in 24 hours. Without the National Weather Service, it would not have happened.”
Elon Musk has repeatedly defended federal workforce cuts as “common sense.”
