Some VA. Lawmakers Say It’s Time to Eliminate Daylight Saving Time
4th November 2023
The sense of dread that so often accompanies Mondays could feel slightly more bearable for some next week as Virginians gain another hour of sleep this Sunday from daylight saving time. (Of course, that extra rest comes at the cost of darker nights for the next four months.)
If some lawmakers had their way, the tradition would have ended in Virginia years ago because of its disruptive and impractical nature.
The latest attempt to eliminate daylight saving time in the commonwealth came from Sen. Richard Stuart, R-Westmoreland, whose bill narrowly died on the Senate floor this January.
Everybody talks about it but nobody seems willing to go ahead and do it.
