Washington: Bill To Extend Daylight Saving Time.

ONE VERY TINY (but very talked about) provision in the energy bill would extend daylight saving time by three weeks in the spring and one week in the fall starting in 2007, conserving energy and perhaps preventing some crimes and traffic accidents. Also more daylight means more consumer activity, that's good for the economy

But Orthodox Jews are protesting that a sunrise past 8 a.m. would mean choosing between saying prayers and getting to work on time need fret only if they live in Alaska, western Montana, some parts of Idaho or that detached bit of Michigan.
