Time zone coverage
The Evansville Courier & Press carries an editorial today simply titled, “Time zones.”
From the perspective of deep Southwestern Indiana, this time-zone situation doesn’t look half bad. That is, if the federal government allows it to go forward.
With the passing of Friday’s federal deadline, at least eight Eastern time zone counties in the southern part of the state had asked to be moved to the Central zone.
Those counties, when joined with the five counties already in the Central zone, create a region of common economic and quality-of-life interests. Having them all on the same time works to the benefit of the people living, working, seeking medical care and attending school in that region.
Meanwhile the Journal and Courier Online writes, “Back to an old question: What time is it?”
