See - you all made fun of us here because my state would not bend to the DST cabal
We would be the ridicule of news stories every year along with our AZ brethren that we were backwards
because we refused to fall in line and change the clocks.
Two years ago our stupid governor decided that we should join in with the rest of the world and adopt DST,
but instead of aligning with Central Time we aligned with Eastern. Now it is still light at 10:00 p.m. in the summer - brilliant !
BTW - because we made the change it allowed for a real comparison of the "energy saving" which turn out to be false.
It actually wastes energy to observe DST
