Political shenanigans doom DST in Indiana
Posted by on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 at 9:14 am

An eleventh-hour Democratic walkout last night scuttled a bill to institute Daylight Saving Time in Indiana, probably dooming the measure for this legislative session.

    The lack of DST and the public outcry when anybody even talks about it is extremely amusing. Talk to a real “hoosier” (not someone affiliated with ND) and say that DST is a good idea, you will not make friends.

  2. Andrew Says:

    A Democratic walkout? Is Daylight Savings Time really a partisan issue? Wow.

  3. Brendan Loy Says:

    The Democratic walkout was not focused on Daylight Savings Time; it was an innocent victim caught up a wider controversy over some other bills the GOP was sponsoring.

  4. Andrew Says:

    Are they gonna run off to Michigan for refuge like the Texas Dems once did to Oklahoma? Heh.

  5. Nick S. Says:

    The legislature has much BIGGER issues to deal with…Primairly getting the Hooisers into the NCAAs and arresting Ed Hightower for Criminal Basketball Officiating (surprisingly a B felony in Indiana).

    Hey Nick,

    You get those NIT tickets yet?

  7. Peter Horvath Says:

    Actually, Charlotte fan, going to the NIT Final Four is an excused absence.

  8. Dymtro Says:

    What isnt an excused absence? Isn’t everything?

  9. Mark Says:

    Well, at least these Democrats didn’t compare the Republican’s efforts to get DST instituted to Hitler pushing through the Nazi agenda.

    That kind of “reaching out” language is only reserved for the very special Democrats.
