Permanent daylight saving in Oregon? 'Hell yes,' Gov. Brown says

A bill is being considered that would keep daylight saving time permanent in Oregon.

When asked if she was in favor of a proposal to abolish the yearly time shift, the Democrat told reporters on Thursday: "Hell yes!"

"I think everyone's done with the time change," she added.
