D.C. Chieftess of Police Kathy Lanier said (in re the voting rep / gun law repeal thing ) "Yes we want our vote, but we want our independence too"
Well I bet they do. How convenient to be able to vote on matters like how much money you get from the public coffer and yet be able to act like a banana republic as far as governing the people within your borders goes.
D.C. Voting in Congress?? In a pig's eye. "Home Rule" should be ripped away and the old "three commissioners" form of government put back in place.
The things the D.C. government has done since 1974 have had a negative effect on our national political life and it is just too bad I cannot go into this uin detail here. The damned city is run like a particularly tyrannical condo association. No gravel driveways, no flagpoles over 5 feet, no purple shutters and guns must b e of an approved color???:X
Words utterly fail me.
