(Undated) — Massachusetts residents are among those who “sprung forward” this weekend into Eastern Daylight Time. And if one senator has his way, that’s the last time that will have to happen. Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts has introduced the “Sunshine Act,” a bill which would do away with the practice of setting clocks back one hour in the fall and ahead one hour in the spring. The change would push winter sunsets in Massachusetts up to 5:30 from 4:30 p.m and would move winter sunrises from about 7:15 to 8:15 a.m.
