DST Finally Passes

Indiana had finally joined the rest of the country (except Arizona, I think) and adopted Daylight Savings Time. The Eastern Time Zone part of the state, which is everywhere except five counties each in the NW corner (where I live) and SW corner (around Evansville), will switch clocks every March and October after the Indiana House passed the bill yesterday. The House passed a little different bill than the Senate had earlier, so it spent this month in a joint committee working out the differences. The Senate passed the new version on Wednesday, and while it took two votes, the House passed it yesterday. Governor Mitch Daniels is expected to sign it, since DST was one of his campaign promises.

The story from the NW Indiana Times.
