[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. I love it - D.C. makes laws like a city (nimbly and efficiently) but acts and has the funding of an entire state. Congress barely uses the Home Rule law but funds the city extensively through federal initiatives. For the Covid emergency funding we got $500 million. No other city can say that. No other city/state also has: - Paid Leave - Free Pre-K - Collections Debt expiration after 3 years - Free daily Covid-19 tests - 2 per person - Extraordinary funding for SNAP and Food Stamps [b]- College Tuition Grants to match Out of State costs[/b] - First Time Homebuyer $10K credits - Separate Healthcare/ACA Portal Benefits - 3 Years of Mortgage and/or Renter Protections - Free Public Transportation for Children - Maternity Leave UBI for New Mothers (Pilot)[/quote] The current version of TAG does not match out of state costs.[/quote]
