Indiana counties start to make their time zone preferences known
Indiana counties wanting to change their time zones have until Sept. 16 to ask the US Dept. of Transportation to hold hearings to switch time zones. I thought I'd look to see which way their leaning. Early returns suggest a preference for Eastern time, as one might expect. None of these results are official yet, so this won't yet affect the tz data, but: Allen County residents prefer Eastern, 65%-35%. <http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/fortwayne/news/local/12413842.htm> Wabash Valley viewers prefer Eastern to Central Time, 58%-42%. <http://www.wthitv.com/newsdet.asp?id=9444> Perry County's commissioners opt for Central time, but Dubios County looks like it may stick with Eastern time. <http://www.perrycountynews.com/articles/2005/08/18/top_story/t1.txt> And, my personal favorite: Bartholomew County's commissioners have decided that it will join whatever time zone its northern neighbor Marion County chooses, regardless of public opinion. <http://www.wabashplaindealer.com/articles/2005/08/16/state_news/state3.txt>
