[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure that Bowser knows how to think for herself. She is basically following Hogan’s lead and copies his actions a day or two later. I guess that is fine but she herself comes across as a deer caught in headlights [/quote]

I agree.  Bowser’s belated, paler me-tooism is kind of pathetic.  Not only is she not a leader like Hogan, she doesn’t exactly have an A-team either.  Hogan has a more experienced and competent set of agency heads, and they lead agencies at scale that can call on resources from across a state that encompasses a varied portfolio of cities, suburbs and rural areas.

Another reason why, even with stellar leadership (like a Tony Williams), DC could not really be a viable state any more than Baltimore City could.  This crisis points out two lessons:

Washington DC desperately needs a better, more competent mayor.

The best long term solution, for a variety of reasons from congressional representation to better resources and a deeper potential political leadership pool, [b]would be for DC to rejoin the state of Maryland.[/b][/quote]

LMAO The best thing for MARYLAND you mean.

Failing businesses.

Failing schools.

Failing housing prices.

Failing downtown communities.

Zero ability to win multi-national corporate proposals (hello Amazon and FBI headquarters).

D.C. has higher housing values, 50% more corporate headquarters, more billionaires/millionaires per a square mile, and better public amenities than the whole of Maryland.

Sorry your state is failing but you can keep that to yourself. D.C. is the fifth largest GDP by U.S. city in the nation and we'd like to keep it that way.[/quote]

Aside from Fannie which is government backed and Carlyle Group which has more people in NYC, which corporate headquarters are in DC, really?

Businesses that don’t absolutely have to be in the District tend to locate in VA and MD because of the DC bureaucracy and council.
