While I was searching to see if the governor had signed the bill into
law yet (he hasn't), I found that Maine wants to go the other
direction, adopting year-round standard time while hoping to be moved
into the Atlantic Time Zone. [slaps forehead]

Well that would be a weird event. Atlantic Time is one hour ahead of
ET.

So, during the winter, Maine would be one hour ahead of the rest of the
US east coast.

 That would be a very stupid move! Tell that to all of the tourists they
get every summer, especially from Quebec and the rest of New England.
I've lived in southern Maine twice. Their days are short enough as it
is, with New Year's sunset at 4:15 PM, if that. I live in central
Connecticut now, about a four hour drive from Portland.

There was also a writeup about this at www.wcsh6.com, the website for
WCSH-TV (NBC) channel 6 of Portland, ME. An opinion poll showed that
the most people for this were in and around Aroostook County (Presque
Isle, Fort Kent and Caribou), while those down in Cumberland and York
Counties (Portland, Biddeford and Kittery) are strongly against it.

 This already happens with Puerto Rico. They're on Atlantic Standard
Time year round. They're an hour ahead from October to April.
