[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL OK. if Congress wants to run our trash collection go for it.

I’m not sure what home rule would be for at this point? What do they want to change? [/quote]

They want to outlaw abortion and implement all kinds of social engineering.

Who would technically run DC?  The House?[/quote]
The executive branch.  They already run parts of DC.  The national parks service does local parks, Capitol police are responsible for parts of DC, etc.[/quote]

True. The parts of DC under the executive branch are the only ones efficiently run. Can you imagine Bowser in charge of the National Mall or Rock Creek Park? It would be a disaster.[/quote]

The National Park Service isn't an example of great governance...most of the national mall looks like shit and there is almost nothing done with Rock Creek Park.

I gather then you are fine with closing Beach Drive...that's NPS.[/quote]
In comparison to the parts under the jurisdiction of DC government, the executive branch is doing a great job running its parts of DC.[/quote]

That's again a silly statement.  NPS barely has to do anything, and yet it does it badly.  They don't provide security for the National Mall or RCP..DC does.  They just have to cut and maintain the grass on the Mall (which they do a poor job) and literally don't do anything much in RCP...it's in fact mostly DC volunteers that do a bunch of maintenance in RCP.

Nobody who actually deals with NPS thinks they run a tight ship.  It's way worse than dealing with DPR and DGS which services DC fields.
