Abolishing Daylight Savings

Saturday night, as our clocks sprung forward and we lost an hour of our day, one man in Missouri was hoping this would be the last Daylight Savings Time he went through. Representative Delus Johnson of St. Joseph, Mo. proposed a bill that would extend the Daylight Savings change all year long.

The bill just passed through the committee Wednesday, and Missouri is one of the first states to make this stride. This morning on Central Standard, we talk about the positive and negative effects of changing Daylight Savings Time with Representative Johnson.
