Time to turn the clocks again. The sheer annoyance for some.
Not just turn back the ever reliable alarm clock (when you remember to set it) that sits at attention on your night stand....
But then there's the coffee maker, the oven clock, the microwave, the car (ugg), and all the analog beauties that hang on the wall or pleasantly sit on sofa tables.
Just imagine if you worked in a clock shop. For those that do, WOW!
This Saturday, 11/2/19, before you hit the hay, turn your clocks back one hour and enjoy that extra hour of sleep... maybe.
From the Office of the President South Carolina Senate, Sen. Harvey S. Peeler, Jr.:
There is a national movement called #locktheclock. Currently 40 states are debating the time change issue. It's about a 50/50 split among the states favoring full-time Daylight Saving time or full-time Standard time.
I have been working on this issue for a while now. Polls show that a majority of people prefer to stop changing their clocks.
That is why I introduced Senate bill 11. My bill will Keep South Carolina on Daylight Savings Time. The Sente unanimously passed my bill in March. The House is set to debate it when they return in January.
When the bill passes, we will still have to wait on Congress to act. Federal law will no allow a state to remain on Daylights Savings time year round. That is why it will literally take an act of Congress for South Carolina to make the switch.
I hope you will join with Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oregon, Delaware, Utah, Maine and Washington in passing legislation requesting the permanent time change to Daylight Savings time.
