1. Interesting tactic to adopt year-round standard time instead of year-round daylight saving time

Before a state can adopt year-round daylight saving time, Congress has to agree. Florida's been waiting since last July. California voters passed an initiative last November to adopt year-round daylight saving time, and now it has to pass the legislature and then go to Congress.

But Congress doesn't have to approve a state going to year-round standard time.
