The debate now seems to be settled — Maryland has the worst drivers out there. According to the Washington Times, last month alone Marylanders were responsible for 64 percent of the traffic violations caught on the District’s traffic cameras, while D.C. residents accounted for 20 percent, Virginia 9 percent and all other states 7 percent. Of course, we are just kidding that this number may say something about Maryland’s drivers. Some of them seem to say exactly the opposite, in fact, claiming that they are being unfairly targeted. A spokesperson for AAA said this of the news — “When 65 percent of those citations are from a particular jurisdiction, it creates in the public mind the notion of a carefully crafted commuter tax. Marylanders are at the mercy of the city.” Why yes, we here in the District are crafty enough to come up with a plan this ingenious.

The transfer of control will allow the airports authority to assume responsibility for the federal and state portions of the estimated $4 billion tab for the 23-mile extension, which would by 2015 reach Tysons Corner.
