That's an easy one. 'Cause if DC let you inspect your car in VA, they'd lose $. And it's all about collecting $ from the taxpayers to support the very bloated DC government. I believe the stats are that the size of the city government is something like 6-8 percent of the population!! City taxes are about 10 percent.

Soooo, if half of the vehicles in DC are government vehicles, and thereby exempt from fees, seems the local citizenry (those who actually pay taxes) are getting the shaft - again.

Seems the time is right for history to repeat itself with a good old fashioned "Tea Party." Dump the politicos in the Potomac and see if anyone complains. Wait, that won't work. Gross pollution of the river.

Another stat is that DC has the highest percentage of population with a college degree of any city.

So much for higher education.
