Personally, I believe it would be nice to have a uniform policy nation-wide. Standard or DST year-round. Pick your poison. Cup or cone? Expect zero leadership out of that spineless jellyfish Rubio. If Trump got one thing right, it’s Little Marco indeed.

From the comments, it seems that most people like changing time twice a year. I wonder about families with small kids that have to adjust to new bedtimes twice per year & all of us adults that suffer from lack of concentration and poor performance the week or so after the time changes. I understand about students catching the bus in the dark, but that can be remedied by adjusting school start times in the winter. As for all the negative Marco comments, he is just doing what the Florida State legislature and governor have asked him to do. I’m ok with voting on it. Don’t care either way which time we use, just leave it the same year round. Businesses can have summer and winter hours – much easier.

Whatever Rubio wants..I will go the opposite way…He is useless and only does what is best for him and not the voters…

Rubio is set on ruling our world. Someone needs to tell him to knock it off. Putting it to a vote would be more fair. He must have bought into the medical world, he wants us stressed, lol.

I would think lawmakers have more important things to worry about than daylight saving time. What about getting rid of drug dealers, protecting citizens, school resource officers, improving roads, I could go on. I agree let the people vote if they want year round daylight savings time. Lets hope it doesn’t pass in DC. Leave well enough alone!!!

So instead of getting dark at 4:50 when you get off it’ll be 5:50 when you get home. It’s not going to help tourism. The same snowbirds will be here light or dark. Just because the time doesn’t change doesn’t mean people are going to take extra vacations here. People go back to work when the summer ends. The earth still makes it’s change in the fall so it will not make that big of change. Still gets darker earlier.

“Little Marco” don’t y’all have more important things to do in Dee-Cee than fret over time zones in the Panhandle of Florida?
That Kim guy in North Korea wants to launch missiles at anyone who he doesn’t like.
We’ve got US Troops in harm’s way all over the world.
Our Sheriff can’t keep deputies.
And the county cannot decide what to do with the Civic Center.
Instead of worrying your self over how to mess up our Time Zones try some focus on the real important things.
Meanwhile, I’ll still get up way before daybreak to fix coffee, breakfast, get everyone ready for school and work and feed the chickens.
Marco, just so you’ll know the Sun really doesn’t obey your instructions and the chickens don’t worry about if it’s an hour earlier or later on a clock as God sets their clocks for them.
Anyway, Marco, y’all try and find answers and solutions to the real important issues and leave the clocks alone because most of us here don’t give a happy rip about when tourists can get into the gates of Mouse Land down state.
