Make daylight saving time permanent

Sunday, Nov. 3, was the longest day of the year in 48 of the 50 states.

With the exception of Arizona and Hawaii, states across the nation experienced a 25-hour day (the 1:00 a.m. hour repeated), marking the end of daylight saving time. As a result, the sun will rise earlier in the day and set later. In some states, this results in exceptionally early sunsets in December. In Bangor, Maine, for example, there are many days where the sun sets before 4:00 p.m.
