INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Indiana's decision this year to observe daylight-saving time statewide was supposed to end 30 years of clock-changing confusion. Instead, it sparked a battle that could create a state time zone system as puzzling as a Rubik's Cube.
At least 18 counties want to move from Eastern to Central time, and one more was still considering making a request in the final hours before the Friday deadline. If that county goes ahead and the federal government says yes to all the requests, a person driving from Chicago to southwestern Indiana could go from Central time to Eastern to Central to Eastern and finally back to Central.
