Statement from Gov. Mitch Daniels about U.S. Department of Transportation Announcement Issued this Afternoon Regarding Indiana

"I've been impatient for this process to move on to this next-to-the-last step. Clearly, there will be changes in this proposed rule before this process is complete. Some counties that failed on the first try will, I believe, ultimately make a credible case to move to the Central time zone. And, it is obviously unworkable to divide St. Joseph and Elkhart counties, which form one economic, social and cultural region.

"It is important to nail down that we will have final answers by the end of the year. We'll be down to two time zones and not three, and Indiana will be in step with the rest of the national economy as our businesses deserve."
