Those who pay $2,500 a year on average in DC income taxes,  more in
Federal taxes while recieving no congressional representaion, and
little or no city services, probably have more of an interest in the
affairs of residential DC, than the outsiders who merely spend sales
tax on beer, lunch, or dinner here. 

There is a va.general, and a md.general.  A forum has been equally set
up for residents of all of the areas.  With NoVa's  reputation as the
new silicon valley (congrats), I would think that a new NG would be
set up to serve the residents of that area, who's demographics are far
removed from that of DC.
