Should Washington D.C. become a state?
Published 2 months ago
Description
The Hard Shoulder is broadcasting from Washington D.C., with the D.C. standing for District of Colombia, because this area is not a State. This means that its almost seven hundred thousand residents have no federal representatives in the U.S. Congress. Paul Strauss is the Shadow Senator for the District of Colombia, and should the district become a state, he would become a fully fledged voting member of the United States Senate.
He joins Shane to discuss.
