Daylight Saving time IMO is redundant and archaic, go to standard and leave
alone. It was originally set up to help farmers get on the fields earlier,
and save energy, but all is outdated now with farm machinery that can
operate twenty four hours per day with the aid of their lights, hence no
energy saved.  Also another side note the US National Safety Council did a
study years ago , which still stands that there is more accidents for the
first four days after the time change, both spring and fall.  I guess to
eliminate it we need to lobby our politicians, as useless as they are.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
