first they voted a month ago to raise the speed limit on highways to 70mph

now today, by 1 vote, decided to follow daylight savings time. FOr those that don't know, IN and AZ were the only two states that don't move forward and back in the spring and fall. THey always had the same time. Well today they FINALLY changed it so IN can be like everyone else.

THat one vote? My fraternity brother who is now in the Indiana House of Rep! He switched his vote at the last minute. LMAO

NOW, just to make it difficult, each county has to submit what time zone they want to be in. I would would the idiots who run my county right on the IL border, pick the Central time zone.

I live in Louisville and always just thought it was Northern Indiana that decided to "disbelieve" Daylight Savings Time, I know right across the river from us in Clarksville, New Albany, etc, they conform to the accepted norms.

Zzzzzz

Hey now! What can I say? Us Arizonians are rebels, man. LOL

I never understood Indiana's crazy ass time even when I was living in IL. In AZ, it makes sense because of the heat.
