发帖数: 18685 | 1 WEST VALLEY CITY -- When you set your clocks back an hour this weekend, Rep.
Fred Cox hopes it's for the last time.
A bill he's drafting for the 2016 legislative session would exempt Utah from
Daylight Saving Time.
"I honestly think there's enough support to do it," Cox, R-West Valley City,
said in an interview with FOX 13 on Thursday.
Under his bill, Utah would join Arizona and Hawaii in no longer observing
Daylight Saving Time. We'd keep the extra hour when we fall behind. He has
set no effective date if the bill passes, to give industries time to adapt.
Cox said a survey he sent to his constituents came back with 58-percent
supporting ending DST, including families with children and educators. It
mirrors a statewide study that found a majority favored ending the constant
back-and-forth clock change.
"I don't even know if I'll have to do that much," he said. "There's enough
vocal people that want to get rid of Daylight Saving Time, they'll do it."
Cox is the fourth lawmaker in recent years to run a bill to get rid of it.
Then-Rep. Ronda Menlove, R-Garland, got the state to commission a study on
it. Rep. Lee Perry, R-Perry, had a bill last year to fall behind and stay
behind; Sen. Aaron Osmond, R-South Jordan, ran a bill to spring ahead and
stay ahead. Osmond's bill died quickly, Perry's bill never made it to a
committee hearing. Cox said he believed he could advance legislation this
year.
"I think there's enough support to get rid of Daylight Saving Time we might
as well put it to the floor and see if we can get the votes," he said.
Not everyone supports the proposal. The Utah Farm Bureau has said in the
past it opposes changes. The Utah Golf Association has opposed ending DST,
claiming it would lose $24 million annually. Ski Utah said it could pose
problems for resort operations.
"We're really happy with the way it is now," said Ski Utah president Nathan
Rafferty. "I think operationally, there are some challenges with it getting
darker earlier."
Cox said he believes the public will make their voices heard.
"You talk to the average person, particularly those with kids, and they're
saying, 'Get rid of it. I don't want to deal with it,'" he said. | s****y

在一个核心城市划两个时区
By 1945, the Salt Lake Airport was in Pacific Time. The city was in Mountain
Time. So if you had a noon flight at the airport, well you would leave
about 10:30 in the city to get there in time. But then you would discover
you would to the airport at about 10:00 which was entirely too early. So
when would you leave for a noon at the airport? Well, you would leave at
about noon and that just doesn't make sense, because then you would get
there at about 11:30, which was before you left the city. | a*******r

每年换俩次时间，都得在家里到处找钟表换时间；每年刚换夏时制时，清晨总有几个路
人被昏昏的早起司机黑暗中撞死/残。
