The congestion pricing debacle should tell us, for the zillionth time, that NY State is an omnishambles and Albany is not fit to govern NYC. NYC is 45% of the state's population--and if it wanted to starve the state of tax revenues and go It alone, it could. So why doesn't it? 1/

Sec. 3 states Congress can *remove* a disqualification by a 2/3 vote. But if they have to affirmatively disqualify (by a majority) in the first instance, they can also effectively remove it with a majority. The 2/3 requirement is rendered meaningless.
