Indiana’s leaders and their infinite wisdom have created a new time warp . The governor made a promise to fix the dual time zone in Indiana in his race for election . He got it fixed and ruined all at one time. He took a time zone that never changed ( no daylight savings time spring forward , fall back crap) , and put it on DLST , and left it on Eastern Standard Time. He then allowed the counties that wanted to , to go on Central Time. Now here is the real stroke of genius….. A new time zone called Commerce Time was added . The new time zone was created for schools and some public offices to allow these entities to actually be in the Central time zone , but operate as if they were on Eastern time. Needless to say now the students of some school systems live in counties on Central time and the school is on Eastern time.

I’ve been told that people and businesses that dont comply with new time zone changes , could be facing stiff fines and penalties ,and that the changes were LAW. It seems to me that the schools that went to Commerce time would be breaking the new law (by not being on the same time with the county around them). Have you ever seen students at school at 4:00 am??? It happened here ,not with my children , but with a few misinformed and misguided students it happened. The working parents of the State of Indiana have now had to change their schedules to make sure that their kids are being taken care of during the time lag between actual time and school time .

Has anyone ever wondered what drugs the people who run the state are on??? I have. I’ve been trying to see if I could get my hands on some. Since elected state officials could make this big of a mess out of what time it is , why not hand their time warp drug out to all of us . So that maybe if WE (the people ) took enough of it, we could go back in time and change our vote .

The next election for state Reps and senators will most likely be like a clearinghouse , with very few of the incumbents being re-elected. Why would they need to mess with something as simple as the time? They got it wrong . The dual time zone in Indiana has existed for some 60 odd years, and it wasnt broke. To me this whole thing is like changing the same tire on your car every day for the rest of your life(even though yesterday’s was brand new)

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has gained a special place in my heart , as one of the biggest morons since the dawn of time. The guy has a track record of fleecing the poor , retired , and the elderly(just ask anyone with IPALCO stock). The name Enron comes to mind as soon as the Governor’s name is mentioned.

The Governor has proposed a Seventy-Five year lease of one of Indiana’s largest assets , The I-80/I-90 toll road. The road nets $90Million per year and supports thousands of families. The rhetoric that I recieved from my State Senator bordered on a lie, with a hint tword the state running the road at a loss. That is simply not true. NET means after everything is paid for ……Police , attendants , repairs and all other things related to the road are paid for before the number of $90M. The State will recieve $3.85 Billion for this lease , and in the long run lose $2.9Billion. The claim that it will free up $109M per year isnt true. Those monies come directly from the Toll Road . How do you keep getting the money from a road that you leased out to a Austrailian/Spanish consortium????

Mitch Daniels ran for Governor in the state of Indiana telling us that he was going to IN-source as much as possible ,and thusly create jobs in the state. Now he is OUT-sourcing one of Indiana’s greatest assets . His claim that we buy too much out of state pales in comparison to buying out of country/continent.

The State of Indiana cannot afford our Governors quirky ideas , so I am joining the chorus of DITCH MITCH.
