of course, Metro fares go to Metro, not the DC gov't. And metro isn't exactly spinning off profits to the DC gov't

Yeah, except for everyone else (like the lawyers) who will start working in Virginia or Maryland. I know I would.

Why? It wouldn't change your tax liability. You'd get a credit against your Va. taxes. It's a pure transfer from VA/MD tax revenue to DC tax revenue (assuming no tit-for-tat measure by VA/MD)
I think the lawsuit is completely stupid, since it strikes me as a dead-bang loser. Also, I'm not quite sure what city resources VA and MD commuters use, other than roads. If that's the case, enact an entry toll, a la London, with DC residents being exempt.
