Vote NO on Sunshine Protection Act. While having one time year round is a great idea, the time should be standard time, not daylight savings time. Standard time is not only physically better for our health (see Stanford Medicine’s article “Study suggests most Americans would be healthier without daylight saving time” among others) as it means we get more light in the mornings when we need it to wake up and be alert and less in the evenings when we need the dark to fall asleep but it means kids won’t be trying to get to school in the dark. Do we really want sleepy kids waiting for buses or walking to school in the dark while equally sleepy adults drive past them?
