Lamar representative wants year-round Daylight Savings Time

Rep. Mike Kelley, R-Lamar wants Missouri to have year-round Daylight Savings Time.

Kelley told Missourinet he will likely make a fourth attempt to put a Constitutional Amendment on the ballot:

“There still seems to be a lot of interest (in his proposal), a lot of people support it. I think people are tired of the switch, it doesn’t serve a purpose in today’s society,” Kelley says.

“You know, the country is in four different time zones. And our companies don’t just deal with people in Missouri. So obviously, they’re already used to dealing with different time zones and things and once people get used to it it’s just the new standard,” Kelley says.
