Recently, House of Cards producers threatened that if they do not receive tax credits from Maryland to pay millions of dollars less in taxes, they may just leave the state behind for a cheaper one. However, it seems like the Maryland House of Delegates do not take kindly to threats.

On March 27, the Washington Post reported that 39-year-old Del. C. William "Bill" Frick (D-Montgomery) proposed a flippant response for the hit Netflix series that was immediately approved by his colleagues.

Reportedly, the delegates fired back at the show stating, "Sure, go ahead, leave this beautiful place that's brimming with dedicated workers. But if you do that, state officials might use eminent domain to purchase, condemn, or somehow seize your sets, equipment, and other property."

Apparently, by channeling his best Frank Underwood impression, the savvy politician sought to mirror the show's main character in his quip. "I literally thought: What is an appropriate Frank Underwood response to a threat like this? ...Eminent domain really struck me as the most dramatic response," acknowledged Frick.

At this point though, it seems like the threats remain just that - threats. According to reports, the Maryland Senate would have to agree to repossessing the property, "which seems unlikely as star-struck senators voted 45 to 1 last week to increase the amount of available tax credits in the coming year to $18.5 million," and Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) would have to confirm.

Hopefully, for fans' sakes, the $18 million tax credit proves good enough for House of Cards to continue filming in MD, as it is slated to return for Season 3 in early 2015. Be sure to keep checking back with Enstars for more of the latest news.
