Rampell: The threat in Trump administration's war on data

2. I went to a town hall before the last election.

Our repiggie Congressman did not show up. We had a cutout at the front, and asked him our questions.

There were several people who stood up and spoke about their concerns. This was in a university town, so we heard from many types of professionals. We heard from someone from the EPA. Even then, data was being erased or simply not recorded. The gentleman told us that quite a bit of data was being sent to Canada. People there were safeguarding it until times got better again in the U.S. I don't know anything about the veracity of his claims, but he was willing to stand up in a crowded room and identify himself by name. It seemed that a lot of the people there knew him, too.
