Show Notes
Alaskans are divided over ending daylight saving time, with two main bills in the running. Senator Kelly Merrick advocates for permanent Pacific Standard Time, aligning Alaska with the rest of the country and benefiting tourism. Meanwhile, Representative Ky Holland pushes for permanent standard time, allowing Alaska to maintain its unique time zone advantages. The debate centers around health, sleep, and the potential impact on mental health and school performance. Both bills face challenges, but optimism for federal support under the new administration could pave the way for Alaska to choose a time zone and stick to it.
