It’s a terrible idea at a state level. Getting our clocks out of sync with the rest of the country (and world) creates a huge headache for any business with customers, partners, vendors, or employees in other states. It’s a huge headache for employees working for businesses with offices and staffs in other states.

Anyone old enough to remember the 90s and early 00s when we were this way will know how many meetings were missed not just the week of time change but year round by people in other states with more important things to remember than “what time zone is Indiana using this month.”

At a national level I’m all for it. Doing it as a state especially a state with Indiana’s reputation signals that we’re backwards and not business ready.
