Will Washington, DC, Become The 51st US State?

What they should do instead of making it a new state is to let the parts that are residential revert to their original states. When Washington, DC was formed, the 10 square miles were taken from two states. So, let the land in question become part of their original states instead of making a new one. This way there would not be taxation without representation.
