The Journal & Courier has an article on the Pulaski time zone issue that does a good job of explaining the bind in which Pulaski County was put:
Frain explained the confusion arose when the Department of Transportation asked county leaders last year what time zone they wanted to observe.
Pulaski leaders asked for Central after seeing that many nearby counties would do so.
“We didn’t want to be the doughnut hole,” Frain said.
But the federal government in January ruled that Pulaski and its northern neighbor, Starke County, would go to Central time, while denying the change to Carroll, Cass, Fulton, Marshall and White counties.
Hopefully the Governor will read that explanation and realize that Pulaski County’s back and forth on the time zone is not because they’re indecisive dimwits, as he implied, but was directly caused by his half-baked approach to time zones and poor decision making when he refused to recognize that the time zone question is inextricably linked to the Daylight Saving Time question.
I was wondering why time zone is an issue in Pulaski County but not in Starke?
