(00.17.31.26) "i'm excited because, basically, when i get off work it's not dark and i get to enjoy more time outside with my little boy."

(00.16.41.20) and he's not alone. there are efforts from time to time in different states ... to either not observe daylight saving time to begin with ... or just stay in it all the time. and the change is not just annoying. a study by the

(00.19.34.26) "a lot of people think one of the reasons for daylight saving time was to help farmers, but that's not true. in fact, when it was first put in place in the u.s. in 1918, farmers fought against it." they also led the fight to repeal that in 1919. their work is based on the sun ... not the clock. daylight saving time didn't come back for good in the u-s until 1966. and hawaii and most of arizona still do not observe daylight saving time.

( marty ) a high stakes meeting at the white house... president trump calls in house republican leaders to talk about replacing obamacare. the plan passed through two committees this week. but it is still facing opposition not only from democrats, but from many conservative republicans as well. the debate could affect millions of americans. kron four's catherine heenan shows us where things stand this morning. "we must act now to save americans from the imploding obamacare disaster."president trump sounding like a cheerleader as he met with congressional committee heads. "this is the time we're going to get it done. we're working together, getting results, we have tremendous spirit, and i think it's something that's going to happen very shortly." the bill making is way through congress would keep three key components of obama care ... you still can't be denied coverage for a pre=existing condition.adult children can stay on their parents' plans until they turn 26.and employer=provided health plans that provide a high degree of coverage will still be taxed.

the republican plan would get rid of the requirement that you have to buy coverage or pay a penalty.subsidies for low income families with high premiums wold be replaced by tax credits.obamacare taxes on the wealthy, insurers and drug companies would be eliminated, and the expansion of medicaid to cover low-income adults would be phased out.right now the rollback is set for 2020. conservatives want it moved up to 2017, potentially creating a gap in care--and that could be enough to make moderate members vote against it. republicans need to stay largely united to outnumber democrats against the obamacare repeal.rep. nancy pelosi/(d) minority leader: "it's really a cruel bill that the republicans have put forth. and it will increase the number of uninsured in our country." that was kron four's catherine heenan reporting. the president took to twitter this morining... tweeting quote: "we are making great progress with healthcare. obamacare is

daylight saving time is tomorrow. some people love getting one more hour of sunlight. but others don't like the time change. in fact, several states are looking into getting rid of of it. robert kittle looks at some of the problems connected to daylight saving time... and why we spring forward. for a lot of people ... the start of daylight saving time makes them happy. (00.17.31.26) "i'm excited because, basically, when i get off work it's not dark and i get to enjoy more time outside with my little boy." (00.17.39.22) (00.16.28.17) "i like it when it's in effect. always hate, you know, going back to the darker evenings and when you go to work and never getting to see daylight and spend time outside. so i'm excited about it. wish that it wouldn't keep

changing back and forth." (00.16.41.20) and he's not alone. there are efforts from time to time in different states ... to either not observe daylight saving time to begin with ... or just stay in it all the time. and the change is not just annoying. a study by the university of colorado found fatal car accidents went up six percent in the six days right after the time change when people lose an hour. the number of accidents did -not- go up after the fall change when we get an extra hour of sleep. "i do not enjoy springing forward. it affects my whole house. my kids hate it and it sets back the entire household. i never look forward to it. i like to fall back." (00.19.34.26) "a lot of people think one of the reasons for daylight saving time was to help farmers, but that's not true. in fact, when it was first put in place in the u.s. in 1918, farmers fought against it." they also led the fight to repeal that in 1919. their work is based on the sun ... not the clock. daylight saving time didn't come back for good in the u-s until 1966. and hawaii and most of arizona still do not observe daylight saving time. "it really doesn't matter to me either way, losing the hour of sleep or not." (00.17.05.12) robert kittle, kron4 news.

saving time is tomorrow. some people love getting one more hour of sunlight. but others don't like the time change. in fact, several states are looking into getting rid of of it. robert kittle looks at some of the problems connected to daylight saving time... and why we spring forward. for a lot of people ... the start of daylight saving time makes them happy. (00.17.31.26) "i'm excited because, basically, when i get off work it's not dark and i get to enjoy more time outside with my little boy." (00.17.39.22) (00.16.28.17) "i like it when it's in effect. always hate, you know, going back to the darker evenings and when you go to work and never getting to see daylight and spend time outside. so i'm excited about it. wish that it wouldn't keep changing back and forth." (00.16.41.20) and he's not alone. there are efforts from time to time in different states ... to either not observe daylight saving time
9:41 am
to begin with ... or just stay in it all the time. and the change is not just annoying. a study by the university of colorado found fatal car accidents went up six percent in the six days right after the time change when people lose an hour. the number of accidents did -not- go up after the fall change when we get an extra hour of sleep. "i do not enjoy springing forward. it affects my whole house. my kids hate it and it sets back the entire household. i never look forward to it. i like to fall back." (00.19.34.26) "a lot of people think one of the reasons for daylight saving time was to help farmers, but that's not true. in fact, when it was first put in place in the u.s. in 1918, farmers fought against it." they also led the fight to repeal that in 1919. their work is based on the sun ... not the clock. daylight saving time didn't come back for good in the u-s until 1966. and hawaii and most of arizona still do not observe daylight saving time. "it really doesn't matter to me either way, losing the hour of sleep or not." (00.17.05.12) robert kittle, kron4 news. ( marty ) tension in the east bay
