    The federal government is proposing to downgrade 144 cities from the metropolitan statistical area designation. Under the plan, a metro area would have to have at least 100,000 people, double the 50,000-person threshold implemented more than 70 years ago.http://apne.ws/Ibr7oLe

        This will never get 60 votes in the Senate. Not even 50.

        It's not proposed legislation so that doesn't make any sense.

        What does this mean? What does metro status confer? Will demoted cities feel a new kinship to forgotten rural areas?
