Many people in Arizona including many businesses, farming communities and people with children, preferred to remain on MST throughout the year because daylight saving produced no personal benefits for them. They had tried it for one year in the 1960s but there was so much negative reaction that they never tried it again. Most people believed that a daylight saving schedule was not necessary for Arizona's hot climate. For many, it was easier to undertake personal activities, including sporting activities, when the temperature was cooler in the evening. Some also said that without DST, the state still managed to save heating and cooling energy in the summer (northern hemisphere) months.

Daylight Saving Time
Daylight saving time (DST) or summer time is the practice of advancing clocks
during summer months by one hour so that in the evening daylight is
experienced an hour longer, while sacrificing normal sunrise times.
Typically, users in regions with summer time adjust clocks forward one
hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn
to standard time.
