MaryAnne Geivett Tebedo (born October 30, 1936 in Denver, Colorado) was a Colorado State Senator from Colorado Springs. From 1982 through 1988 Tebedo served as a Republican in the Colorado House of Representatives, and was elected to the Colorado State Senate in 1988. Tebedo completed her legislative career on December 31, 2001 pursuant to term limits. Tebedo chaired two Senate committees, the ''Local Government Committee'' and the ''State, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee'', and served on eight legislative committees. Legislation she sponsored dealt with early education through college, transportation, energy and mining, local government affairs, National Guard, state finance, constitution and elections, large and small business and labor affairs, and the environment. ''Colorado Springs Gazette'' columnist Ralph Routon wrote a series of columns supporting the idea of placing all of Colorado on year-round daylight saving time in order to save state residents the "aggravation of resetting their clocks every six months."〔Routon mentions in his original column, ("Let's Make Daylight Time Year-Round" ''Gazette, The (Colorado Springs)'', 23 October 1999 ), several other beneficial effects, at least to himself〕 The idea gathered noticeable popular support within Colorado Springs, and attention of the state's larger newspapers,〔said attention being negative, as Ed Quillen savaged the plan in his article (The Plot to Eliminate the Mountain Time Zone ), ''Denver Post'', 7 November 1999,〕 but when then state Senator MaryAnne Tebedo attempted to present the idea to the state legislature, her research uncovered Federal laws forbidding the state-initiated extension of daylight saving time. Still determined to relieve Coloradans of the need to change their clocks, Tebedo introduced the only bill legally permitted to her: a proposal to exempt the state of Colorado from DST. The bill failed to escape committee during the 2000 legislative session.〔("Year-round Daylight Time is Not an Option" ''Gazette, The (Colorado Springs)'', 29 January, 2000 ): Routon mentions Tebedo's intent to introduce the bill〕 MaryAnne is the mother of Kevin Tebedo, a former Executive Director of the organization Colorado for Family Values. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MaryAnne Tebedo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
