Maryland, Virginia make Top 10 in US News Best States list

The folks at U.S. News & World Report have for years ranked states in categories such as health care, safety and more; for the third year, they’ve combined factors to pick the best states overall — and Virginia and Maryland came out near the top.

“Virginia moved up 13 spots from last year to No. 7, and Maryland moved up seven spots to No. 6,” said Tim Smart, the executive editor at U.S. News. “So they’re both in the Top 10 states for the first time.”

D.C., not being a state, wasn’t ranked.

The list was compiled through a combination of public and private data in a variety of categories, weighted based on surveys conducted by U.S. News on what people felt were the most important issues.

This study is a joke, right?

Northwest Woodsman: what a steaming pile that report is. Talk about manipulating information for propaganda! They indicate that Washington tops the list. Probably because there are few minorities generally speaking but way too many Marxist democrats mainly in the urban areas. Quality of life is rapidly declining because of their policies and add to that, Seattle being declared a sanctuary city. They certainly know how to destroy civilization.

Best sanctuary city that is. Top 10 in murder, crime, and taxes.

The study has no balance.
