The Indy Star has another article on DST entitled, It’s D-day for DST. The new twist is that the DST bill was scheduled for it’s final hurdle, a vote in the House, which was derailed after Governor Daniels put his foot in his mouth again, blaming the Democrats for what he viewed as an inadequate budget bill. (I haven’t read coverage of that yet — I hope Daniels also had harsh words for those in his own party who dogmatically rejected Daniels’ proposed tax increase regardless of how necessary or how good an idea it would be.)
After Daniels verbally slapped around Democrats for inadequacies in the Republican budget, support began eroding among Democrats who had previously supported passing Daylight Saving Time. This bill really is sailing the voyage of the damned. It may get to its destination, but the bill and everyone involved is taking a real beating.
