ROSWELL STATE SENATOR CLIFF PIRTLE IS TAKING ANOTHER STAB AT GETTING A BILL APPROVED THAT COULD END NEW MEXICO’S TIME CHANGE IN THE SPRING AND FALL. PIRTLE’S MEASURE WOULD KEEP THE STATE ON DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME.
HE SAYS SPRINGING FORWARD AND FALLING BACK MESSES WITH OUR BIOLOGICAL CLOCKS. HE SAYS IT EFFECTS OUR JOBS AND WHAT TIME WE WAKE UP … HAS BEEN KNOW TO CAUSE HEART ATTACKS … AND CAR ACCIDENTS INCREASE FOR A WEEK AFTER THE CHANGE.
PIRTLE SAYS THE STATE IS ON DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME EIGHT MONTHS OF THE YEAR … AND ON STANDARD TIME ONLY 4 MONTHS.
