So, Florida has passed legislation, that would make Florida, the first and only State to go on permanent Daylight Savings Time. Congress has to approve before it can go into effect. We would always be -6 hours West of GMT no matter winter or summer which would mean that although our winter solstice sunset would occur an hour later, 1842 instead of 1742, our winter solstice sunrise would also occur an hour later, 0817 instead of 0717. Everyone will be driving to work and going to school, waiting for the bus, in the dark. Can you imagine the wintertime airline schedule confusion?

I'm against it!

Permanent Standard time (-5) hours is preferable IMHO.
