Indianan Time Zone Fight

Daylight Saving Time was pitched to everybody in Indiana in a sleezy mannor. The idea was to reduce the costs other people would incure by having to keep up with what time it was in Indiana during the time switches each year. However, because this was all done in the legislature and not by popular vote there was no determination to what time Indiana would actually be on.

After the whole thing looked to be on the way of a large bomb Daniels sent the whole problem to the federal government to come up with a time zone plan.

Of course now by spliting Indiana down the middle makes the whole thing just as confusing as before and I doubt there will be any realized savings from it. So the whole thing was simply an exercise in bureaucrazy.
