Queens/Long Island Congressman Tom Suozzi is one of many Democrats from blue states drawing a hard line in the sand with the Biden administration, saying that if the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap is not repealed, they will vote against his infrastructure plan.
The SALT cap, at $10,000 for deductions, acts as a threat to New York as residents with the means to leave for greener pastures, money-wise, means the state will have less money for services, as the Trump administration planned when they enacted the limit in 2017 that meant New Yorkers were essentially taxed two-fold.
