Daylight saving bill hits wall in Senate
Legislation to make daylight saving time permanent faces Senate opposition after passing the House. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and a bipartisan Commerce Committee bloc oppose the bill, citing concerns about schoolchildren and outdoor workers, while the White House supports it as a 'popular, common-sense reform.' Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso indicated the bill may struggle to pass.
