OMG calling for the city-state of D.C. Better to give half to VA and half to Maryland. No more drug brained mayor and corrupt everything.
It's like you are intentionally ignoring Baltimore's problems.
Baltimore is 2nd in the nation for murder rate and 3rd in total violent crime.
DC is 19th for murder and 24th in total violent crime - less than half the violent crime rate of Baltimore and about 30% of their murder rate. DC's also better on violent crime, 29th in the country.

After his release, he was elected to the Council of the District of Columbia in 1992. He was elected again as mayor in 1994, serving from 1995 to 1999.

The alternative weekly Washington City Paper nicknamed him "Mayor for life", a designation that remained long after Barry left the mayoralty.[3] The Washington Post once stated that "to understand the District of Columbia, one must understand Marion Barry".[4]---
