However the founding fathers had some pretty solid reasoning for why DC shouldn't be a state and it seems like it never will be. I think DC government should stop pushing for the impossible like statehood, and push for something that could be accomplished more easily, such as getting rid of some federal taxes in DC to make up for the lack of voting power.
Del Holmes Norton would thank you

I just moved to Baltimore from Philly about 1 1/2years ago, so I'm probably not the best representative. However, I really do like DC and could probably say I prefer it over Baltimore.
