DST Passes Senate

State Senators who represent the Q101 area split their votes last night as the Senate passed the daylight savings time bill. Republicans Gary Dillon of Columbia City and Thomas Weatherwax of Logansport voted for putting the state on daylight time. But Republicans Ryan Mishler of Bremen and Robert Meeks of LaGrange voted against the bill. The bill has two more hurdles to clear before it becomes law. The House of Representatives must pass it before midnight Friday and if the House passes it, the Governor must sign it. The House began debating the bill yesterday, but postponed a vote until late this morning.
