Sunshine Act 2019-2023

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Ron Wyden openly supports the Senate's decision to pass the Sunshine Act and have all US states permanently adhere to the observance of Daylight Saving (as opposed to permanently remaining on the standard as Arizona and Sinaloa Mexico have done) so that the state of Oregon remains in UTC-7 along with Phoenix but not Navajo Nation, thus forcing all states in observance of MST to change zone nomenclature from "mountainous" to Pacific including Sinaloa...and Hawaii in UCT-10 to also establish a new "standard" nomenclature-wise. This uphelds Denver's right to stay "mountanous" and remain in UTC-6 and for the city of Mazatlan to correctly observe the start of totality for the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 at 11:07am local UTC-7 Pacifico time and not at 12:07pm UTC-6 as the rest of Mexico will observe it in. 173.241.161.229 (talk) 18:37, 11 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
