At least one Kansas lawmaker wants to do away with Daylight Savings Time.
This seems like a waste of time. Pun fully intended.
In early January, a Wichita TV station reported State Rep. Kristey Williams, R-August, plans to take a swing at Daylight Savings Time. Last year she introduced a bill that would exempt the state from fall back and spring forward. A bill she plans to introduce this year, House Bill No. 2422, would establish daylight saving time as the permanent standard time for the entire state. Currently, 101 of Kansas 105 counties use Central Standard Time, while Sherman, Wallace, Greeley and Hamilton, all of which border Colorado, use Mountain Time.
In Kansas, most citizens dont want to stay on standard time all the time, and the reason is simple. We want more daylight hours, hours when we are awake and less when were sleeping, Williams told KWCH-TV.
There are lots of consequences to consider with this legislation. Think about what communities on state borders might go through if we made this switch. Imagine what people who live in the Kansas City metro might have to deal with daily especially for those who work on the other side of the border.
