Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) announced a significant increase in State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions, raising the cap from $10,000 to $40,000 for individual filers. This decision, praised as a victory for middle-class families, comes amid concerns from fiscal conservatives as the bill advances towards a House vote. Lawler engaged in intensive discussions with numerous stakeholders, including President Trump, who expressed concerns about the potential political implications of the SALT cap changes. The proposed amendment is expected to be formally introduced in the House Rules Committee before the final vote.
For the middle class, this is a real win, especially in a state like New York... my constituents suffer the highest taxes in the country between property and income rates.
I know your district better than you do... the push for a higher-than-$30,000 SALT cap risked upending the Republican agenda and wouldn't be a determining factor in his 2026 re-election bid.
