[quote=Anonymous]Not in my lifetime. This is a lose-lose for politicians and top-level bureaucrats on both sides of the border and they will make sure it never gets off the ground (doesn't get serious discussion in Congress, not on the ballot, etc.). Many/most politicians and department heads in DC would be without a job. Plus, they have to abandon the dream of statehood. Those that survived the initial process would find that they are small fish in a large and established pond. Current MD politicians see their influence being diluted by the newcomers. Attention and money would shift to a bunch of people they don't have established relationships with. As a private citizen of MD (formerly in DC), I think retrocession is a great idea with many benefits for residents and tax payers. Not hopeful, though.[/quote]
