Still confusing reports on whether Tocantins will use DST this year.
 
In today article:
http://cenariotocantins.com.br/principal/tocantins-nao-adere-ao-horario-de-
verao/

Tocantins não adere ao horário de verão

(Tocantins not adhere to DST)

where governor Siqueira Campos has not joined the program, stating that 
"DST decision is the state and not an imposition of the federal government."
