[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it ever even approaches reality retrocession will take place before independent statehood. Washington, MD will become a thing.[/quote]

Yay!  This Democrat would gladly trade Bowser for Hogan[/quote]

I'm also a pre-retrocession fan.  Makes so much more sense and MD is actually well-governed.  I'd gladly trade in my "No Taxation without Representation" license plate to become part of Maryland.[/quote]

What happens to the current state officials in Annapolis if DC becomes part of MD?  Their power is diluted by the influx of new pols in DC. They don't want it.
What happens to the powerful interests in Baltimore and Montgomery County?  Their influence is diluted as well.
What happens to the current politicians and upper level bureaucrats now serving in DC?  Lot of their jobs overlap with state functions and many will be without a job.

Whatever the citizens may think about it, retrocession is bad news for a lot of the people who could make it happen. 
I will not live to see it.  Retrocession is only slightly more likely than DC statehood.[/quote]
