Does the District of Columbia deserve statehood (and therefore voting rights)?  I say yes, they need their own Senators and Representative if they're going to pay taxes.

Combine with Maryland.  There is no need for the federal government to own the area its buildings are on and there is no need for an arbitrary state in the middle of Maryland.
It's not in the middle of Maryland; it's between Virginia and Maryland, so there wouldn't be any weird business with states inside states.
