Some data with regard to the Bill to put Indiana on Daylight Savings Time.
If we’re on Eastern Daylight Time (and Eastern Standard Time statewide during the winter), which is what the bill calls for, in places like Gary, Terre Haute, and Evansville, sunrise will come at about 8:15 a.m. at the end of December, and sunset will not occur until 9:30 p.m. at the end of June.
If, on the other hand, we switched to Central Daylight Time (and Central Standard Time statewide during the winter), then places in the east like Richmond and Lawrenceburg would have sunset at about 4:18 p.m. at the end of December and sunrise at 5:12 a.m. at the end of June.
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.”
