I'd guess the soaring forecasts are a hobby project of NOAA weather geeks. And not an agency directive or priority. Honey is the answer, not complaining to politicians/bcrats that your favorite cut of pork is unavailable. Find out who the meteorologists are and invite them for glider rides. Or at least get in touch and explain your mutual interest in WX and ask about what happened to the soaring forecast. Not as a disgruntled taxpayer, but as a fellow weather geek.
PS It is OK to be a disgruntled tax payer. Just not always effective.
