Please excuse the grammatical error.
Should read: "Marylanders don't"

@abuzznDC
Ya, I can see two MAJOR problems with your solution.
#1 Washingtonians don't want to become part of MD
#2 Marylanders doesn't want DC to become part of MD
That being said, got any other bright & shiny ideas?

Is stubbornness so high or graduation rates in DC so low that the solution to the dilemma (problem) cannot be seen in geography and demographics (i.e.: population data) for a means to an end? DC should be a distinct county in the State of Maryland. The school system, crime, health and child care, not to omit responsible city government would all fare better. As a county in maryland, DC's 600G residents would have a major say as to which 2 House Reps and Senators represent them best. Virginia took back their part of DC long ago and (Arlington County) has fared much better than the right bank of the Potomac. Keep vacillating DC and Utah will get its Representative in the next census by its sheer population growth alone.
