DST - still hated

Okay, Indiana survived another change in time. I still have not changed all the clocks but it is Sunday and I just do not want to do so. The computer clock changed all right - or apparently so. Officially, I am still agnostic on DST itself except one item that still annoys. How the Governor handled the way that we went onto DST still annoys. As for DST being an economic boon, I think the evidence does not exist.

If I am truly agnostic on the subject, why do find Representative Herrell's stance so attractive? Here is a bit from the Kokomo Tribune:

State Rep. Ron Herrell isn’t looking forward to advancing his clocks this weekend, though he admits there is little he can do to avoid it, for now.

His concern is due to daylight-saving time springing forward, which happens this Sunday at 2 a.m.

“I really don’t care for [DST] personally,” Herrell said.

Neither do his constituents in the 30th House district, he said.

“The majority oppose changing to daylight-saving time. They do not to want to change their clocks,” he said.

Indiana lawmakers voted in 2005 to begin observing statewide daylight-saving time for the first time in 30 years.

Earlier this year, Herrell championed his constituents’ views when he proposed a bill asking for a referendum on the time change. Herrell said it didn’t make it past his own party members. He said the chairman didn’t want to get into another battle about the time change when they had more important issues to discuss during a budget year.

He’s not going to drop the issue.
