Indiana Reconciles Time Change Confuses Statewide Clocks
The move to Central time has left Indiana residents perplexed as business and sports schedules clash. The Indianapolis 500 shifted to 1 pm Eastern daylight time while tickets list noon Eastern standard time, and many clocks remain on Indiana time. State law has long exempted most of Indiana from daylight saving, creating a patchwork of time zones across 77 counties observing Eastern time with varied practices, 5 counties unofficially observing DST, and 10 on Central time.

EPA proposes easing drinking water standard
The EPA plans to roll back recent limits on contaminants in drinking water for small rural communities serving 10 000 or fewer people. The proposal would allow arsenic and other pollutants at three times the previous level, affecting about 50 million residents. EPA officials say the change responds to Congress guidance from 1996 about costs to small towns. Public comment runs through May 1.

McKinney Blames Officer for Capitol Incident
Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney accused a Capitol Police officer of starting the incident by inappropriately touching and stopping her after a security checkpoint. Joined by Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover, she said a prosecution may come but she will be exonerated and called herself a female black congresswoman being instigated. She did not discuss further details as she could face charges for allegedly striking the officer after entering a House office building unrecognized.
