Colorado Springs Gazette
columnist Ralph Routon wrote a series of columns supporting the idea of placing all of Colorado
on year-round daylight saving time
in order to save state residents the "aggravation of resetting their clocks every six months." The idea gathered noticeable popular support within Colorado Springs, and attention of the state's larger newspaper
s, but when then state Senator MaryAnne Tebedo attempted to present the idea to the state legislature, her research uncovered Federal laws forbidding the state-initiated extension of daylight saving time. Still determined to relieve Coloradans of the need to change their clocks, Tebedo introduced the only bill legally permitted to her: a proposal to exempt the state of Colorado from DST. The bill failed to escape committee during the 2000 legislative session. She also stunned fellow senators by stating that teen pregnancy "drops off significantly after age 25." http://www.csindy.com/colorado/10-republicans-whove-kept-us-in-business/Content?oid=1120066
