The city of Carmen de Patagones (Provincia de Buenos Aires)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_de_Patagones is "twin" to Viedma
(Provincia de Río Negro) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viedma and many
people in one city works or studies in the other...
Since Río Negro is at UTC-3 and Buenos Aires at UTC-2, this has become
more than a nuissance for people living in one city and working in the
other one or, worse yet, having a different job in each or studying in
one city and working in the other one...

The Intendente (Major?) of Carmen the Patagones asked the Governor of
the Provincia de Buenos Aires to allow the city to adhere to UTC-3...
apparently the Governor will reject it (and allow schools and public
offices to change their timetables so as to coordinate them with the
UTC-3 but calling it differently)... Except for the Provincial Bank
(Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires) that must keep the same
timetable in the whole Province...
If this goes on like this (that is, Carmen de Patagones keeps the same
timezone as the rest of the Province), then we're fine... otherwise...
we'll have to split America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires into yet another
timezone called America/Argentina/C_de_Patagones or something like that :-(
I'll keep you posted...
