“This is an exciting and important moment for News 12”, said News 12 president Patrick Dolan in a statement. “We’ve always provided the most comprehensive look at local weather, through our Dual Doppler system and thousands of local forecasts across our market every day, but the addition of real-time information from more than 400 Weather Underground stations to our weather-gathering resources, and in the hands of our experienced and knowledgeable meteorologists, will allow us to take hyper-local to the extreme.”

  I am a hard working state worker for 10 years. I love my job. However, I can't tolerate state employees that have retired and are able to come back. Some are receiving 3 salaries. That is triple dipping. They are receiving their pension check, social security check and another state paycheck. Some get their pension and another state paycheck. Double dipping. These people should be let go. They had their chance to get a pension. Do you know how much money the state could save? This has to come to an end. We want to keep our jobs. WE need our jobs.
