A state senator says he wants to do away with turning the clocks back in New York.

State Sen. James Skoufis says he would like this year to be the last that New Yorkers have to worry about what time it is or it being dark by 5 p.m.

"There are a lot of positive benefits to taking on another hour of sunlight later in the day,” he says.
