Don't forget to turn those clocks forward Sunday
Submitted by paula on Sat, 03/11/2023 - 7:00pm
As we deal with snow, rain, dangerous roofs, and roads, the time change may be the last thing on our minds. Sunday, March 12 marks the one time a year when a day has 23 hours in it as Daylight Saving Time begins, and clocks move forward at 2 a.m.
But why are we still having to switch times twice a year after California voters voted to abolish the ritual? Voters passed a ballot measure in 2018 by almost 60 percent, telling the state legislature they wanted a change to daylight saving. State lawmakers still have not passed legislation to abolish it.
