Last I saw PR doesn’t want to be a state, they get more goodies in their current environment!
If this is how they’re going to operate we should all go on the government dole. Let them bleed their corporate donors dry.
On the other hand DC does want to be a state, and pays much more in taxes than they get back in grants. Will the Mayor’s inability to get the National Guard moving to protect the Capitol give DC a stronger argument for statehood since only Governors can call for the NG?
