The present state of this article supposedly details the "ill effects of standard time compared to daylight saving time" in the Background section. However, these points are dubious at best. Some of the cited sources even contradict the content of this article.
A larger article, Permanent time observation in the United States, has a far more accurate description of the debate concerning daylight time versus standard time. I think, therefore, that the brief, inaccurate information in this article should be largely removed in favor of the other one.
Some examples of inaccurate citations:
I'm planning to rework the Background section to clear up these inaccuracies. Additionally, I thought it would be sensible to include a section on opposition to the bill. There is much information here in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act but no talk of the downsides. It would be worth clarifying the distinction between debate over the clock change versus between standard/daylight time.
