Re: [tz] Washington state to permanent standard time?

I vaguely recall several efforts to switch to permanent standard time in various state legislatures. None have made much progress yet. Retailers generally favor DST and would oppose any effort to go back to standard time, because they fear people would shop less after work. This has been true ever since United Cigar Stores (then one of the largest retail chains in the US) successfully lobbied Congress to establish daylight saving time in 1918. Here is a poster put up by United Cigar Stores celebrating passage of the 1918 bill, and continuing to push the tall tale that farmers favor DST. That tall tale is still circulating. https://loc.gov/pictures/resource/cph.3g10663/
