Unlike the other discussions, there aren't any specific questions that go with particular threads. I'm curious how you reacted to what you learned from comparing your state with the other Mid-Atlantic state OR what you saw as similarities among the Mid-Atlantic states we compared (or key differences) OR anything, in particular, you noticed about your state that wasn't the subject of any of the questions?

One caveat: remember that we're dealing with percentages, which are shares of the budget ("slices of the pie"), which have nothing to do with how big the amounts are (even for a smaller share, "bigger pie" may mean "bigger slice").
