UNDATED (WTVB) – Clocks will move ahead one hour with the return of daylight saving time on Sunday. People are also urged to change the batteries in their smoke alarms and flashlights.
A debate that’s always brought up at this time of year is being brought up once again in Indiana. The Central Time Coalition was at the Statehouse yesterday at Indianapolis and helped push the effort to move the state from the Eastern time zone to Central, but since state lawmakers voted to adopt Daylight Saving Time in 2005, they’ve been unwilling to go back to the issue.
One of the arguments from the coalition is that it’s too dark in the early morning for students to be going to school. The coalition has 47 school boards and 25-hundred voters signed on to the effort, but lawmakers don’t feel there’s enough of a push to make a change.
Daylight Saving Time kicks in at 2 a.m. Sunday and we “spring forward” one hour.
