Bill to end daylight saving time in Colorado

Rep. Ed Vigil, D-Fort Garland, wants to do away with daylight saving time, saying it’s easier not to have to change clocks — and sleeping patterns — in the spring and the fall.
House Bill 1067 would end daylight saving time in the Colorado, leaving the state on Mountain time year round. The bill is scheduled to be heard in committee this morning (MST.)

What does everyone think of this? Personally I would love not losing an hour int he fall! I think it would make people more productive longer. It is tough when the sun goes down at 4-5 PM. Plus I think driving in the winter would be safer with another hour of daylight.

I say :thumbsup:
I hate the time changes.


Note: Cheri Gerou, House district 25 Representative will be at the 285 Corridor Tea Party meeting next Thursday come on down and voice your opinions.

The bill ends daylight saving time in the state, leaving United States Mountain Standard Time as the year-round standard time in Colorado.

That means we lose an hour of evening daylight from March to November.

I would prefer to stay on daylight saving time year round.

The only problem is the kids trying to get to school in the morning in the dark.

I soooo hope they do away with it!!

Wait is that right? Or do we gain an hour of daylight from Nov to March? I thought that it just always stays ahead with no falling back in the winter.

OK, I changed my mind. I don't want this. I thought we kept the extra hour of daylight Nov to March not lost an hour the other 8 months.

HORRIBLE BILL!!!!! If we are gonna get rid of something, lets stay on daylight savings year round. This would REALLY be bad in the summer. I love the extra hour of light after I get home!!! I was just telling my DD that I can't wait for the time change next month so we can play outside after I get home!
