"so he'll be able to use the hand in

Congressman Rick Boucher does not
anticipate it either and fought against
the measure in House energy-committee

In a phone conversation, Boucher
told me the negatives far outweigh any
potential benefits from the earlier
time change.

The negatives he cited are
safety-concerns for children waiting in
the dark for the school bus to
arrive... and also the objections
raised by many farmers.

Congress has allowed for the
measure to be reverted back to the
traditional Daylight Saving schedule if
it is found to be more beneficial...

But Boucher said he does not see
that happening.

fundraiser...that included a famous

Natasha Ryan has the story.
