A Republican congressman from Texas introduced a pair of bills Thursday that would exempt D.C. residents from federal income taxes and return most of the District to Maryland control.

One measure offered by Rep. Louie Gohmert would exclude D.C. residents from having to pay federal income tax on income earned in the city until they are given full voting representation. The other would draw a line around all federal buildings in the nation’s capital and cede the rest of the land back to Maryland “upon Maryland’s acceptance.”
