🚨 #CTLeg Representative Kurt Vail (R), Representative Craig Fishbein (R), and Senator Cathy Osten (D) file HB-6074 for permanent #DaylightSavingTime, disguised as #AtlanticTime. Bill is referred to Gov’t Admin Committee, chaired by Sen Mae Flexer (D) and Rep Matt Blumenthal (D). Please oppose, amend to permanent Eastern Standard Time!
HB-6074’s permanent EDT (AST) would delay CT sunrise past 8am for over two months. It cost lives in 1974. American Medical Association, National Safety Council, and dozens more oppose pDST and endorse permanent EST instead.
