[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question....what are the reasons Maryland residents in the Washington metropolitan region wouldn't want DC residential areas to merge into their state? I'm not trying to troll, I sincerely wish to know the reasoning, since I'm not from Maryland or very familiar with it. This would resolve the issue of having people with taxation without representation, without having to add a 51st state, which at this point would be politically really difficult to do without adding another 52nd more rural state at the same time.[/quote] Maryland politicians in Annapolis and Baltimore don't want the competition. How does it help them personally? It's just more constituents to deal with, and more competition for top positions. Non-political Maryland residents probably don't much care. but MD pols would fight it. [/quote]
