Remote working could be here to stay in some state agencies.
A year of telecommuting and Zoom calls has left some agencies thinking that more work days going forward may not need to be done inside a government office building.
Now that Gov. Tom Wolf has announced the lifting of his COVID-19 mitigation orders with the exception of the mask order in less than two weeks, pressure continues to build from Republican lawmakers to get government employees back to the office.
Time for government to stop tampering with the clock.
Pennsylvania is among the majority of states who “spring forward” and “fall back” as Daylight Saving Time begins and ends each year. It’s practiced in 48 states (Hawaii and Arizona, except the Navajo Nation, do not), but there’s a growing movement to put an end to DST, or at least to the twice a year time change.
Unfortunately, some members of our state legislature want to turn the clock the wrong way.
Currently, according to The Farmer’s Almanac, Arkansas, Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington and Wyoming want to practice DST all year. Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana (which apparently wants it both ways), South Carolina, Utah and Wyoming support an end to DST.
