This. If we didn’t have home rule, maybe we’d have a tougher on crime approach to rising crime by Republicans or something. Instead we have a liberal city council that sided with criminals over tax paying citizens out of “equity”.[/quote]

You would have members of Congress who do not live here making laws for DC residents that would run contrary to the expressed wishes of those residents. Grandstanding members trying to score points with their constituencies back home. No thanks. [/quote]
First off, members do live here and many live here for a long time.

Second, the only difference between this and the present is that you didn’t vote directly for who is making the bad laws and doing the grandstanding. [/quote]

Holy cow.

And the residents of the city would have no power to recall the officials running the city who were elected by someone voting in Iowa or Arizona or NY.
