Mentioned this in the other thread, but I'll throw it in here too: Other than parts of the Indian Reservations, Arizona does not ever go on DST. We're always GMT -7:00, year-round. I feel we have the right amount of sunshine both summer and winter, to be honest, and a nice balance between sunrise and sunset at both ends of the calendar. I'm kind of surprised that more states don't do away with DST and just pick whatever timezone is best for them. There is already precident for time zones being chosen even at the individual county level anyway.
