Would you be open to this proposal?

No.  The residents of DC should have full Senatorial representation like other Americans.  They aren't half-people.

Of course, the Senate isn't the most democratic institution, but if every state gets two senators, then every person living in a state is technically represented by two senators (though it's a lot better in small states).

Personally, I think making DC as part of Maryland is a good idea, as it would give the people proper representation.  I just support statehood because it seems like the only option other than the status quo that people are pushing for.  The status quo is unacceptable.  It's taxation without representation, and the people of DC are forced to host all the sleazy members of Congress the states send, but it doesn't get its own members of Congress!

Anyway, giving the district just one senator makes no sense, and wouldn't please anyone.
