Dear PoPville,

I was doing my DC taxes today while mourning the loss of the first time DC homebuyer tax credit. I discovered a first time homebuyer credit, but alas it was only for DC government employees. Why is there a tax credit only for DC government employees? It seems rather corrupt to me, which only justifies my feelings about DC government.
