District of Columbia to be withdrawn, Washington will become part of VA or MD

It was announced today that the District of Columbia (D.C.) is to be withdrawn from the USA and Washington, the capital of the United States is to be come part of either Virginia or Maryland, based on a vote.

The vote will take place on December 31st by residents of D.C. and the result will be announced on the 1st January.

If Virginia wins the vote then Washington will officially be placed in Fairfax County, if Maryland wins then it will be in Montgomery County. Either way it shouldn't make much of a dent to the wallets of residents because to live in the suburbs of Washington D.C. you must be extremely minted.

But that has not stopped people complaining about this proposal. Throughout November and December there will be several protests in Washington D.C. from residents of both states.

Currently, the D.C. state line starts just south of Silver Spring and circles around the city ending just near Alexandria. However in the new year this could all change.

The fear of residents is that the taxes will raise in which ever state Washington becomes part of. One Virginian could be heard saying "Leave my wallet alone!".

The integration will take place on 1st January 2013.
