Daniel Bernier, a DC resident, proposes a ballot initiative to eliminate daylight saving time in the District of Columbia. Frustrated by the biannual time changes, Bernier's idea was inspired by a segment from John Oliver. He believes that making daylight saving time permanent would enhance local autonomy and quality of life for residents. While acknowledging potential confusion with neighboring states, Bernier hopes his initiative will inspire broader changes across the United States. Currently in the process of gathering support, Bernier hopes to get enough signatures for the referendum to reach voters.
"I find changing the time irritating for any number of reasons. I really just dislike the whole thing."
"Getting rid of it in the District would allow us to at least exercise a little bit of autonomy here in our own city and improve our lives."
