Michiganders could vote on ending Daylight Saving Time [View all]

State Senator Thomas Albert (R-Lowell) wants to give Michigan voters a chance to hit the snooze button. He’s introduced a bill to let voters decide if Michigan will switch permanently to standard time.

Albert sees no benefit to Daylight Saving Time.

“I’m a dad. I have young kids. (Sunday’s) a rough day,” said Albert with a laugh.

Supporters argue Daylight Saving Time helps conserve energy and give more daylight into the evening hours during the spring and summer.
