What Time Is It in Indiana?

A little national coverage for our time-keeping conundrum... it never ceases to amaze me that our business leaders, such as the president of the state chamber of commerce, claim that the old system of not changing our time was "confusing", and the new system of more or less constant time changes based on individual counties is "crystal clear". These guys need to talk to some real Hoosiers, and stop listening to their Wall Street buddies.

But of course, My Man Mitch didn't have any problems telling his New York bankers what time it was in Indiana when he sold out IPALCO and trashed their retirement fund. And he knew the time in Mexico when he ordered his campaign tee shirts and bumper stickers from a company there, while attacking his opposition for sending jobs out of the state...

A decision by Indiana officials to recognize daylight saving time statewide has set off a county-by-county battle over switching to Central time from Eastern time.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
