A lot depends on where you are in your time zone. Like Maine is far to the east, i.e. right at the beginning, of the Eastern TimeZone so it's always "later,"while Indiana, on the western edge, is actually almost an hour behind. If they go on Daylight Time (to match Cincinnati) they're an hour ahead of Chicago, which can be awkward.
I agree, it's awkward at best. I believe the time changes between a specific time be it standard time or Daylight Saving Time is also awkward at best. Pick what ever is best for your STATE, and go with it.
