But I could be wrong about the semantics of it and it boils down to the same thing. I’d love it.

Basically we need to get in tune with each other, as there’s a series of cascading conditions in effect. New Hampshire is waiting on Massachusetts, Maine is waiting on NH. Connecticut, for obvious reasons, would presumably opt out. I think the real objection is that sunrise would be awfully late early in January; the kids waiting for buses argument.



That would be eight months, just about. At which point, I think it’s more logical to say that you get up later for four months.
What is the obvious reasons for CT?

I just heard about CT considering this, and the problem I heard was coordinating with other New England states.
