James Comer (R-Kentucky) would block the D.C. Council from amending its tax code or raising any city taxes or fees without explicit approval from Congress. The measure would upend the typical process for D.C. tax changes, which currently go into effect automatically after a waiting period unless Congress takes action to block them.<\/p>\n<p>Under Comer\u2019s bill, any new D.C. law that raises taxes or fees would require approval from both chambers of Congress within 60 days; without it, the law would be moot. He introduced the measure as D.C. lawmakers, faced with a sluggish local economy and mounting budget pressures, have said they may consider potential tax increases on businesses and wealthy residents next fiscal year \u2014 and as D.C.\u2019s Democratic nominee for mayor, Janeese Lewis George, has advocated for a <span><u>business activity tax<\/u><\/span> targeting law firms and consulting groups that do not pay the city\u2019s typical business taxes.<\/p><p>\u201cRadical D.C. Democrats want to solve their spending problem by reaching deeper into taxpayers\u2019 pockets and driving further on the path to socialism,\u201d Comer said <span><u>in a news release Thursday<\/u><\/span>. \u201cThe Constitution gives Congress clear responsibility over the nation\u2019s capital, and we must prevent the D.C.
