[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wyoming, who are constantly cited as the reason why DC needs statehood, has a state senate with 30 members and 60 members in the house. Imagine how ungovernable DC would be if the city council were expanded to 90! [/quote] New Hampshire’s population is just about double DC’s and has 400 Representatives and 24 Senators. Is it also “ungovernable?”[/quote] It’s not a statement of the quality of governance of Wyoming, Vermont or New Hampshire. It’s a statement of the quality of politics and politicians in DC. Filling out all of those seats to form a state assembly would just empty the dregs of the DC political establishment. Every also-ran council candidate with a bizarre pet issue. That’s what would make a DC state assembly ungovernable. [/quote] I'm guessing that you've never met any of the state legislators in Wyoming, Vermont, or New Hampshire.[/quote]
