BRACK: The government is considering regulating how we keep time

BRACK: The government is considering regulating how we keep time

By Elliott Brack  |  So, what’s your take on how we should keep the time? Do you like the idea of “Spring Forward” and then “Fall Back?” How to count the time is controversial.  The timing question has strong advocates among us for both sides. Now the U.S. Senate has jumped into this fray. If the Senators  had their way, our country would be permanently on what we now call Daylight Saving Time.

BRACK: Legislators’ meddling with Georgia’s time is waste of energy 

By Elliott Brack  |  Time in the United States is permanently set…..with our nation divided into four continental time zones. It’s been that since 1883, when pushed by the nation’s railroads, all the states began using a standard time.  (The time grid is really six zones, with both Alaska and Hawaii having added time zones of their own.)
