THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2018
‘Sen. Kim Thatcher is proposing a bill that would make
daylight saving time permanent. What do you think?’
“I agree with
it. I want it to
happen. I’m tired
of changing the
clock back and
forth.”
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
David Starr, Astoria
“I’ve never objected to the shifting
of the time. I’m used to it. It’s
almost a point of amusement. I
understand there are economic
reasons to get rid of it, but there
are also compelling social reasons
to keep it — like kids’ bus schedules
and walking to school in the morning.”
“I’m used to the change.
It tells me I still have to
do a few things to use
my brain. Actually,
it doesn’t bother me
one way or another. It’s
only one hour.”
