LETTER: Nevada pols could gain support by getting rid of daylight savings time ritual

I know that most politicians and wannabe politicians read the letters to the editor. I’m going to give them a sure fire way to get elected or stay in office. Next time, include in your platform a promise to rid us of this unnecessary, arcane tradition of changing the clocks twice a year.

Want to get elected? Here’s your key to garner the votes without a known down side.
