South Bend Tribune – 4 counties want to be in same time zone

The South Bend Tribune has an article entitled SouthBendTribune.com: 4 counties agree same time zone is ideal

Commissioners from Marshall, Kosciusko, Elkhart and St. Joseph counties met Thursday and decided they would all like to remain in the same time zone — either Central or Eastern.

The federal Department of Transportation will decide what time zones will prevail in Indiana now that the Indiana General Assembly voted in daylight-saving time.

Of course, it’s entirely possible that the Dept. of Transportation won’t make any decisions at all if I am correct in my assessment that Governor Daniels failed to follow the procedure prescribed by the USDOT in requesting consideration of new time zones.
