The Lafayette Journal & Courier has 4 articles on Daylight Savings Time:
I myself have done a fair amount of posting on the subject:
At the end of the day, I think Indiana is geographically suited to being on Eastern Standard Time year around. We’re further west than is really suitable for Eastern Daylight Time during the middle of the summer, and we’re further east than is really suitable for Central Standard Time during the middle of the winter. As for the difficulty this causes people in other areas of the country trying to keep track of the time, I think it boils down to lack of respect. When they tell us to change, they’re saying that they can’t be bothered to remember the relatively simple fact that Indiana is on Eastern Standard Time all year. One of the J&C articles mentions SIA’s concerns about DST. Somehow I don’t think SIA Indiana is urging Japan to adopt DST. I just don’t think our relationship to corporations in other states should be as important as arranging our time to suit our daily lives.
