Federal and State governments may, local governments do not.

But it's a commonwealth, not a state.

The distinctions between “Commonwealth” and “State” are largely legally irrelevant. Many States (Virginia especially) retain sovereign immunity and apply that doctrine in different ways to localities.

It is legally a state.

Virginia can call it's self a tooth fairy but it is still a state. And Norfolk is a city and in no way sovereign. No matter what these dimwits want to profess
