Yes, I am from Maine and our state id thinking of moving to Atlantic time, (an hour before Eastern) and dropping daylight-savings time. That way we would be the same as Eastern for 7 months and ahead for just 5.
I, of course, am all for it!

Leave Portland and arrive at Boston an hour later! [and three hours going the other way (and yes I know it really take the same time but you get the point.)]
