No, as they need to ask Steven G. Bradbury first.

Who's Steven G. Bradbury, you ask? Changing timezones requires 
permission from the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, who typically 
follows the recommendation of the USDOT General Counsel, who is 
currently Steven G. Bradbury. This sort of thing was last done in 2007, 
for Knox, Daviess, Martin, Pike, and Dubois Counties in Indiana. See:
