IMHO, Alaska is going in the wrong direction. There was a time, when Alaska had four time zones, as God intended and "daylight savings" had nothing to do with it. I remember being proud of residing in a state with as many time zones as the lower 48 had combined and let's face it, daylight savings in Alaska is more than ridiculous. What happened to the phrase: " We don't care how they do it in the lower 48"?
