Why You Should Consider Clayton Hinchman for Congress

Remember the video of Congressman Mo Brooks running from reporters who were questioning his support for Roy Moore? Didn't that tell you something?

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that we've supported Mo Brooks in the past. Just for the record, it's going to be hard to find too many candidates in the 2018 elections, at least Republicans, who didn't officially support Roy Moore. Nevertheless, Brook's behavior was a deal-breaker for us.

Now our Mo has an opponent in the Republican primary. His name is Clayton Hinchman and you can read about him here:

There's still over two weeks of qualifying time left. We may see other Republicans enter the race. It's going to be a bumpy ride...

We have a correction to make...as in we were halfway totally wrong. We recently blogged that it is impossible to fiddle with our state time. Apparently, it's impossible to put our state on Daylight Saving Time permanently, but not to put us on Central Standard Time permanently - this is per the Uniform Time Act. First our legislature would have to pass the law (would the electorate then have to vote on it?), and second the federal government would then give its expected approval.

Will it come to pass that DST is no more in this state? We sincerely doubt it. No one wants to see the sun setting before 8:00 p.m. in the summer...or do you? If you have some strong opinions, e-mail us. We'll forward any great replies to Rep. Tommy Hanes who's sponsoring the bill to do away with DST.

Why can a state declare Standard Time the year round norm, but not Daylight Savings Time? Apparently that would amount to an actual change in time zones and is not allowed by the federal government.
