Daylight savings time coming to Indiana

I'm not making this up. One of the big political issues in Indiana the last few years was the dispute over whether the Hoosier State should follow daylight savings time.

Most of the state hasn't, except for the Indiana counties in the Central time zone. The Eastern Time Zone covers most of Indiana, including its largest city and state capital, Indianapolis.

So starting tomorrow, the Indiana counties that are in the Eastern time zone will finally observe daylight savings time. Simple? Sort of. Also tomorrow, eight of the 92 counties in the Indiana Eastern zone are switching to Central time. But two of those counties, Martin and Pulaski, are already having second thoughts, and may ask to revert to the Eastern zone.
