[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Restrict it to the Federal city it’s supposed to be, b/c the[b] DC government has been incompetent for years[/b]. So a lot of the residential should just go to Maryland. They’re all Dems anyway, and would get a real congressman/senator. Everyone would be better off. I realize the Feds would have to pay to offload.[/quote] the DC government has the highest bond rating in the country, or did until Congress withheld a billion dollars of its own money to spend in the city. You really have no idea what you are talking about.[/quote] I traveled there for 25+ years for work. It’s a cess pool regardless of their bond rating. The schools are horrendous. Even PG looks down on them. They are a comical joke compared to the surrounding counties.[/quote] I guess you know nothing about Moodys, Fitch's or S&P and municipal bond ratings. Sad. Fact: DC had a AAA+ until April when the Congress told DC it wasn't going to approve the 2026 budget, forcing DC to put a billion dollars of its own money (not the federal money, not the congress money) into its rainy day fund and not spend it on policy, social services, schools etc. You seriously have no clue.[/quote]F the bond ratings, Bozo. Nobody judges quality of life for the residents based on bond ratings. Go ask someone living Southeast if their life is improved b/c of bond ratings. What a joke.[/quote] What do you think pays for schools and floats the general fund to the city is liquid at all times. Sure, the average resident may not understand that, but the city leadership certainly does. So if you don't think high bond ratings are material to the quality of life in a jurisdiction, that is a you problem. But saying f the Bond ratings is both immature and unrealistic.[/quote]
