LEGISLATION TO KEEP NEW MEXICO ON DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME INSTEAD OF BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH FROM STANDARD TO SAVING TIME IS GAINING FAVOR … AND YOU CAN THANK THE RECENT TIME SWITCH WE MADE OVER THE WEEKEND. A KRQE-DOT-COM POLL FOUND THAT NEW MEXICANS ARE FEELING THE TIME CHANGE FATIGUE.
SIXTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THOSE SURVEYED SUPPORT THE BILL TO STICK WITH DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME. 31 PERCENT WERE AGAINST IT. ANOTHER 25 PERCENT DIDN’T CARE. IF SENATOR CLIFF PIRTLE’S BILL PASSES, IT WOULD STILL NEED FEDERAL APPROVAL FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE U-S TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT.
