WNDU-TV :

"With Democratic control of the Indiana House next session, B. Patrick Bauer has been chosen, once again as the Speaker of the House.

House Democrats gained at least a 51 to 49 majority in Tuesday's election.

Bauer says Democrats will seek more money for schools and a nonbinding statewide referendum to gauge public opinion on daylight-saving time.

'I believe that we'll try to have a referendum on that, have the views of the people. We've said that one of the things that we thought was to listen to the people, and I think they need a little improving on that. And we'd like to improve that and I’ll think we'll try for a referendum, on the direction the people would like to have in that area,' explains Representative B. Patrick Bauer."
