I'd rather have an extra hour of light in the evening than morning.

Longer evenings are more useful than early mornings. Also, it’s been scientifically proven that switching the clocks on your population increases work injury, vehicle accidents, and heart attaks

Poorly worded question. From the responses, many misunderstood the question. I can live with either DLS or Standard time, just pick one and leave it.

Health and safety are major concerns. Darkness about 5 pm in Dec. is dangerous. Additionally, the later hour in the morning of additional daylight is beneficial to commuting and mental outlook.

I would be for leaving DST permanent but I think it would be less of a hassle to go opt into standard time. It's written into law that we have that option. We don't need a useless act of congress

Before DST became law it was rejected by the people three times. It was the legislature tat made it law. Time to do the will of the people.

We could just put our clocks back the one minute or whatever it is that changing the time helps with. I like longer days. It just doesn't make sense to change our time by an hour.

Actually, the question is should we keep STANDARD TIME permanent... I think "natural earth time" is what we need to get back to.

Hard to answer, you should just ask do you prefer DST or Standard time, the questions make no sense. However my answer, we should stay on Standard Time year round and stop messin with crap!

We are no longer an agrarian society and don’t need extra daylight hours to harvest the fields. Let’s just go back permanently to standard time and leave our clocks alone. It is too much of a hassle.

This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

This is a sneaky way to get sales tax in place and will add as much as 15% to the consumer's cost for retail purchases.
