Permanent DST? Pros and Cons | Portland News

from Portland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Trump backs making Daylight Saving Time permanent, which would mean no “fall back” in November—leading to later sunrises (possibly after 9 AM in places like Juneau) and later sunsets (potentially past 7 PM). While Hawaii and Arizona are already exempt, most of the U.S. would face a major shift: some cities like Green Bay might welcome extra evening light, while others could struggle with delayed mornings. The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, but the Senate is on break until September, leaving the fate of the bill—and other state-level options—uncertain. Congress will have to decide whether to push forward or let states choose their own time zones. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
