		<description>I agree with Dan...Of course they want more gravy.  I don't necessarily think giving DC a rep is a good idea.  I did think it was an interesting proposal though.  

I've heard the "eliminate federal income tax on DC residents" argument for solving this problem before and I like it.  

Another idea I heard was to give DC back to Maryland. Let it be Washington, MD.  I think this would require a Constitutional amendment but it would still be a good idea.  We could get rid of much of the very screwed up DC government and stop the whining!!!

		<description>It is an interesting idea to give Utah another Rep.  But I would deal with the "no taxation without representation" problem for people living in the district a little differently.  End the federal taxation of people in the district.  Easy enough.  However, they should also end all federal money including welfare, etc., that goes to the district.  I think that would solve the problem easy enough.  

I doubt DC would go for my plans because they are on the federal gravy train.  I don't think they care so much about taxation, I think they want more gravy.</description>
