[quote=Anonymous]I've been a District resident for the majority of my life and I'm opposed to statehood. We're a city - a populated one - but share none of the characteristics of a state. No other city has statehood. Plus I've been waiting a lifetime for our local elected leaders to prove they are worthy of the responsibility of statehood and not continue our sad legacy of self-serving corruption. I care about job creation, good schools, and safe streets, and having statehood won't measurably improve those things. Given my low confidence in our Congress, I'm not sure giving leader-for-life EHN will make much of a difference for our local interests. [/quote]
