Massachusetts

I can see this being a mixed bag. For the children and workers I can see an advantage of having more daylight hours in the evening, but for the workers that have to deal with people across the country it could also mean that they have to spend one more hour each day. If the end of the work day in LA, San Francisco or Seattle is 5 p.m. that could mean that the Atlantic zone workers might have to stay until 9 p.m.

The issue of being out of sync with the rest of the country is also valid. It will require all of the New England states to adopt the Atlantic time zone in order for it to possibly succeed. It also wouldn't hurt if New York and New Jersey join in.
