# It seems Metlakatla did go off PST on Sunday, November 1, changing
# their time to AKST and are going to follow Alaska's DST, switching
# between AKST and AKDT from now on....
# https://www.krbd.org/2015/10/30/annette-island-times-they-are-a-changing/
+ # From Ryan Stanley (2018-11-06):
+ # The Metlakatla community in Alaska has decided not to change its
+ # clock back an hour starting on November 4th, 2018 (day before yesterday).
+ # They will be gmtoff=-28800 year-round.

+ # From Paul Eggert (2018-12-16):
+ # In a 2018-12-11 special election, Metlakatla voted to go back to
+ # Alaska time (including daylight saving time) starting next year.

+ # From Ryan Stanley (2019-01-11):
+ # The community will be changing back on the 20th of this month...
+ # From Tim Parenti (2019-01-11):
+ # Per an announcement on the Metlakatla community's official Facebook page, the
+ # "fall back" will be on Sunday 2019-01-20 at 02:00:
+ # https://www.facebook.com/141055983004923/photos/607150969728753/
+ # So they won't be waiting for Alaska to join them on 2019-03-10, but will
+ # rather change their clocks twice in seven weeks.

#
+ # From Paul Eggert (2018-11-30):
+ # A brief but entertaining history of time in Indiana describes a 1949 debate
+ # in the Indiana House where city legislators (who favored "fast time")
+ # tussled with farm legislators (who didn't) over a bill to outlaw DST:
+ # "Lacking enough votes, the city faction tries to filibuster until time runs
+ # out on the session at midnight, but rural champion Rep. Herbert Copeland,
+ # R-Madison, leans over the gallery railing and forces the official clock
+ # back to 9 p.m., breaking it in the process. The clock sticks on 9 as the
+ # debate rages on into the night. The filibuster finally dies out and the
+ # bill passes, while outside the chamber, clocks read 3:30 a.m. In the end,
+ # it doesn't matter which side won. The law has no enforcement powers and
+ # is simply ignored by fast-time communities."
+ # How Indiana went from 'God's time' to split zones and daylight-saving.

# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
