Take a Drive on 'Taxation Without Representation' Avenue

District of Columbia Council chairman Vincent Gray may be on to something. This week he plans to put on the council’s agenda a proposal to rename the section of South Capitol Street from N Street to Potomac Ave. S.E. “Taxation Without Representation Street” to bring attention to the District voting-rights cause.

The added attention is probably unnecessary — with the slogan emblazoned on every city license plate, it could hardly be more prominent — but Gray’s reasoning is sound: Having to write down those words as the stadium’s address will serve as a constant reminder of the issue.
