From the Santa Fe New Mexican:
Have you been a little sleepy or slightly disoriented since the change to daylight-saving time this week? If so, a state Senate leader wants to help.
Senate Majority Whip Mary Jane Garcia, D-Doña Ana, on Tuesday introduced a bill to get rid of daylight-saving time altogether.
“Daylight-saving time is a health hazard,” Garcia said in a news release. “It causes us to suffer from sleep disruption and deprivation that is essentially jet lag. You have drivers on the road who are half asleep on their way to work in the morning. Daylight savings can also cause major computer glitches, as we saw this weekend in New Mexico when dozens of people’s unemployment claims were impacted.”
I AGREE 100%
Mary Jane Garcia, you have my support.
