In the House, the Daylight Saving Time bill received a vote of 48 for and 49 against as Mary Beth Schneider reports in an article entitled House vote falls short on time bill. Because there were fewer than 51 votes against the bill, it isn’t quite dead. It could be brought back. This bill can’t figure out whether to live or die. It’s like a zombie you keep blasting at only to have it keep coming at you. (This happens to me a lot.) The end of session is Friday — my prediction is that the thing will pass 51 to 49 Friday at midnight. But that’s just based on this bill’s prior history.
The Star has another article laying out who voted for and against. The summary is:
Voting yes were 39 Republicans and 9 Democrats. Voting no were 13 Republicans and 36 Democrats. Excused from voting were Tiny Adams, D Muncie; James Bottorff, D Jeffersonville; and John Day, D Indianapolis.
