Getting SALT-y: New York pols call on Trump, Republicans to tax deduction ‘problem they created’

A slew of prominent New York lawmakers urged incoming President Donald Trump on Sunday to remove the SALT property tax deduction cap a day before he takes office.

The Empire State’s two senators — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand — joined Reps. Jerrold Nadler, Laura Gillen and Dan Goldman at a Jan. 19 press conference where they lambasted the federal SALT program as an onerous burden on New York taxpayers.
