[quote]This is why we will never be a state.

Yes, because states and the federal government have pristine records when it comes to financial management. [/quote]

Did you miss the part about where this was an audit completed by the DC Government?  This is DC policing itself.  [/quote]

The point is that waste, fraud, and abuse (regardless of who uncovers it, whether public or private) is not a bar to representative government.[/quote]

I understand your message: you assert that these are separate, unrelated issues.

You would also surely assert that it is an unrelated, separate issue that the democrats will undoubtedly pick up 2 highly progressive senators and at least one very liberal congressperson.

The reality of the situation is that DC needs congress to go along with their statehood plan.

And the politics DO matter.  Further, it's difficult to make the argument that DC "deserves" statehood when there is overwhelming evidence of DC government incompetence at virtually every level.

Furthermore, if voting is really so crucial to the few (600K) residents, there is nothing meaningfully preventing most from just moving a few miles away to become Maryland residents.

In sum, don't hold your breath on DC statehood.[/quote]
