[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maryland doesn't want dc it has enough issues with Baltimore. [/quote] Why wouldn’t MD want the tax revenue? Carve out the mall, ellipse, WH, Congressional complex and any contiguous federal property. That would be Washington, DC. The rest Washington, MD. [/quote] No matter how much you think Maryland ought to want DC, the reality is that Maryland doesn't. So you could equally well advocate for DC joining Narnia or Equestria.[/quote] Presumably MD residents and state officials have made statements against retrocession. Can you provide some links? I agree that DC residents should have representation, but at the very least, MD should have the opportunity to get its land back if it is not being used for the original purpose. If MD votes against retrocession, then DC should be a state. If MD votes for retrocession and DC votes against it, then DC remains a federal district with no representation. [/quote]
