Two photos from Kentucky in January. At 8:30am Daylight Saving Time, the sky is dark. At 8:30am Standard Time, the sky is light. Caption says, “Most work/school starts at 8am. How would you rather start your day half the year? Permanent Standard Time is the safest, healthiest, quickest end to clock change.”

Kentucky, tell state lawmakers: No on HCR 23! Permanent DST would put sunrise past 8am for 4.6 months, as late as 9am. Kentucky defeated it in 1974. Ask they seek permanent Standard Time instead to end clock change without delaying sunrise. #KYLeg #DitchDST
