[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]to get its land back[/b] 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]

Since that happened 230 years ago, there aren't a lot of Marylanders who perceive it as a burning issue.[/quote]
