Kosciusko Commissioners to Discuss Time Zone

We might know later today whether Kosciusko County Commissioners will try to move the county to the central time zone. A discussion of the time zone issue is on the agenda for this morning’s commissioners’ meeting. Commissioners must decide whether Kosciusko County should remain in the Eastern Time zone or switch to Central Time. If Commissioners decide the county should be on Central Time, they’ll have to file a petition with the U-S Department of Transportation. It would then be up to the D-O-T to conduct hearings and make the final decision. If Commissioners decide the county should remain on Eastern Time, they don’t need to take any further action. Some Indiana counties want to change from Eastern to Central time because the state goes on daylight savings time next spring.
