[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be an opportunity for DC to create both a state and municipal infrastructure, with lots more elected positions and a substantial increase in DC state and city jobs. Taxes could be levied at both levels. A political patronage dream for DC. Think of the existing DC political/crony/contractor model on steroids.[/quote] DC could increase taxes without creating a seperate level of govt. Instead they have cut tax rates a their tax base has increased, to be competitive with suburban jurisdictions and in response to voters. There is no reason that would change with statehood. [/quote]
