New Jersey can join with other states in the push to finally eliminate Standard Time and make sure we keep the clocks exactly where we jumped to over the weekend. Daylight savings is a fine idea because of the increase in sunny daytime hours. So why would we consider falling back next November? We shouldn't. Florida has already paved the way with the Sunshine Protection Act. The pull quote from the article:
Under the plan, HB 1013, called the "Sunshine Protection Act," the state would ask Congress to pass a law to let the Sunshine State move from Standard Time to Daylight Savings Time (when you set your clocks ahead one hour) year-round. Daylight Savings Time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November and is set to start this Sunday, March 11, and end Nov. 4. - Mary Ellen Klas tampabay.com
