At least they didn't decide to follow Hugo Chavez's example and choose to be 30 minutes different from every other country in the same time zone.

Interesting! That could wreak havoc on schedules to Haiti.

Of course, another interesting phenomena is that the bank times at PHX change by an hour -- going to/from DST since Arizona does not observe it. I assume this means that employees must come in one hour earlier during the DST months.
