Bill you wrote: "A provision of passing the DST bill [...] is a federal ruling on what time zone Indiana will be in. " I don't think they have it that easy. The federal authority on time zones doesn't make those decisions. It can only approve or disapprove a specific plan submitted by a state based on its effect on trade. I doubt Indiana will be able to put together a plan to submit to the feds after all the emotion wasted on the DST debate. The status quo on the Eastern/Central boundary in Indiana will stand. And: "Possible outcome, a vertically-oriented state being split somewhere near the middle." Indiana already has some counties on Central Time. I don't think it will matter much if they shift the line, but I still doubt that this will happen. -FER 42.0N 87.7W, or 41.4N 72.1W. www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars
