Vote swapping for DST

Mary Beth Schneider, for the Indianapolis Star, has an article entitledBill to appoint county judges dies. In it, she reports that Rep. Murphy is dropping HB 1703 which would allow the governor to appoint Marion County judges. Apparently Rep. Murphy is doing this as a logrolling deal where he tries to get Democratic Representatives from Marion County on board with HB 1034 which would impose Eastern Daylight Time on the entire state (except for the northwest and southwest corners). With some Republicans voting against the measure, the DST bill doesn’t have enough votes unless the bill can get some Democratic support.
