The American Spectator

Bravo Diane.

p>For years I’ve said, every time the subject of making Washington, D.C. into the 51st state came up, that we should define D.C. as only the areas around Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court buildings, and the major monuments. Put up two high-rise public housing units next to Congress for the representatives and senators to live in while Congress is in session. A smaller unit next to the Supreme Court for the same purpose. No one other than Congressmen, Senators, Supreme Court Justices, the President, Vice President, and their immediate families could stay in these buildings. Every other part of what is now Washington, D.C. would be returned to Maryland or Virginia. All areas of the building would be covered by security cameras which would feed to the internet so all citizens could keep track of their public servants lifestyles. Landlords have to keep track of their unruly tenants so as to know who to evict. br> — Geoff Bowden br> Kalamazoo, Michigan /p>
