Oh my! Drive-in movie theaters, family farms, etc. Now there's some growth industries! (no pun intended) Don't you just love it when the proverbial tail wags the legislative dog?
I'm glad to hear you don't need a chart to remember what counties are observing what time. Obviously you don't have customers state-wide. Ask ANYONE who does have business dealings outside their community and you will get an earful of about how costly it is to continue our "tradition".
Please answer the question: "If staying on Standard Time is such a great idea, why aren't 47 other states doing it themselves?"
Ask yourself this question: if it is such a good idea, why doesn't the legislature pass the change? I mean, if it's simply because the farmers are upset, why does the legislature care about their opinion? Could it possibly be because it is an IMPORTANT sector of the Indiana economy?
You know, it really doesn't matter to me one way or another. I suggest if it is such a problem for you, call your folks in the legislature and get them to introduce a bill.
