# Most of EST-only Indiana last observed DST in 1970.

# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06), following a tip by Markus Kuhn:
# Pam Belluck reported in the New York Times (2001-01-31) that the
# Indiana Legislature is considering a bill to adopt DST statewide.
# Her article mentioned Vevay, whose post office observes a different
# time zone from Danner's Hardware across the street.
# From Paul Eggert (2005-08-16):
# http://www.mccsc.edu/time.html says that Indiana will use DST starting 2006,
# and that many counties may switch either to Central or to Eastern time.
# The county-by-county decisions have not been made yet, so for now assume
# that no counties will switch: this assumption is most likely wrong,
# but it's the best we can do for now.
