Statement from Governor Mitch Daniels about

Department of Transportation letter regarding time zones

I appreciate very much that Secretary Mineta has found a way to help this process move forward. I am especially grateful that the DOT will reach out to hundreds and hundreds of Hoosiers to solicit views on this important question, and then connect that feedback to the process that will give us hearings where necessary. We wanted an open and bottom up process and that is what we will have.
