OLYMPIA, Wash (AP) — Washington has a new state law on the books keeping us on daylight saving time year ’round, but it’s held hostage by Congress so we’ll fall back again on Sunday.
Federal law has to change before Washington and a handful other states can ditch standard time.
Arizona and Hawaii got around that by sticking with standard time all year.
Researchers say the twice-per-year clock changes play havoc with our health and even bring an increase in traffic accidents.
Most Americans favor sticking with the same time all year but disagree on which time it should be.
A new Associated Press-NORC poll finds 4 in 10 Americans like standard time, 3 in 10 prefer daylight saving and the other 3 want to keep flip-flopping.
