Indiana gets first time change Sunday
Bill Collins

On Saturday night, West Lafayette will lose an hour for the first time in more than 40 years.

Legislation for resolving Indiana's time zone system passed in the Indiana House in 2005. At 2 a.m. this Sunday, daylight-saving time takes effect, and Tippecanoe county will officially be on Eastern Standard Time.



Indiana has been switching between different daylight-saving time policies for more than 40 years. On the subject of not observing daylight-saving time with the rest of the country, State Sen. Ron Alting, R-Lafayette, said "Indiana is one of only three states not on (daylight-saving time); the other two are Hawaii and Arizona." Alting also voted in favor of the legislation.

"We take great pride in being a little different," Alting said, but "it was costing us jobs." In Lafayette, 86 percent of businesses interact with others on the east coast who follow EST, and 80 percent do business with overseas organizations who also follow EST. This caused confusion in the business environment because many businesses were put off by the strange time system.

1. My dear underpants!

Well, it's about time! Ugh, that was unintentional.....no, really it was!

But this sounds as though the change doesn't extend to the whole state...

Does it?

But at least it's a start!

Happy Monday to you!

2. No just two counties near Perdue University

West Lafayette Indiana

Tippcanoe county and another. They didn't change their clocks at all. I really only know this because I went to a conference there a few years ago.


I think the entire state of Arizona DOESN'T change their clocks but I am not 100% about that.
