Were they the last holdout, or is there another region in America that keeps to standard time?

Arizona does not change to D.S.T. What is the purpose of daylight savings time today?

This will make a lot of people happy here in the Cincinnati area. Many live in Indiana but work in Ohio.

House Speaker Brian Bosma called the 51-46 decision one of the most "heroic" votes in his 20 years in the General Assembly.

Sign them up for a Profiles in Courage award.

This hoosier thinks changing time sucks. I will never vote for Mitch Daniels again. And I own my own business. So don't give me that line about business benifits.

But we still don't know whether we will be in Eastern or Centeral Time. If we go to Central Time with Daylight Savings, we would have defeated the entire purpose. For those who don't know, Indiana effectively has THREE time zones: EST, EST with Daylight Savings, CST with Daylight Savings Time.

I grew up in Indiana where we had a sane time system. I moved to Arizona and have lived there ever since. We don't screw with our clocks here either. I guess I'm running out of places where I would find it acceptable to live. Stupid is breaking out all over the place. Don't change your clocks, change your habits.

While time zones make sense, Daylight Savings Time is stupid. Are we as humans so dumb as to think this accomplishes anything different than if we went to work an hour earlier/later. It does cost business money however to change twice a year.

I will admit, there is one person I know who is firmly convinced that the change to DST makes the ice on Lake Erie melt faster because there is more daylight! It is amazing such people are allowed to operate a voting machine or a car.
