[QUOTE="SimplyMe, post: 75922656, member: 9588"] Umm... a DC Senator will have 50 votes all by himself, to be able to ram such a thing through? A DC Congressman will have 100-200 votes, so he can ram things through without needing the support of other Congressmen? I'm sorry, the scenario you have is far more likely now than if DC were to become a state. The Senate and Congress do not "build," much less "plan," roads. Instead, that is done at the state and local level -- with the federal government providing some funding for Interstate and US Highways. It is actually while DC is not a state that Congress can control road building in the district. Your "example" for this power that a DC Representative or Senator would have is ludicrous. [/QUOTE]
