Update on plan to give DC real representation

You may remember I wrote on this the other day - a plan sponsored by DC's pseudo Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton and Virginia Rep. Tom Davis to give DC a Representative in the U.S. House, as well as adding another seat in the House from the state of Utah. The seat in Utah would have likely gone to Republicans, and the seat in DC to Democrats. However, according to a New York Times article out today, the Republicans want to continue to deny the citizens of DC representation:

Republican leaders in Congress said the plan was dead and would not be voted on this session.

Davis said he plans to reintroduce the package in the next Congress, which will be lead by the Democrats, hopefully meaning DC will FINALLY GET THE FAIR REPRESENTATION IN OUR GOVERNMENT THAT IS LONG OVERDUE IN THE DISTRICT:

A spokesman for the chief backer of the plan, Representative Thomas M. Davis III, Republican of Virginia, said Mr. Davis would push for reconsideration. Failing that, the spokesman said, Mr. Davis would reintroduce the package in the next Congress, which the Democrats will lead.
