Four House Republicans from New York criticized Speaker Mike Johnson's proposal to set the SALT deduction cap at $30,000, deeming it insulting and inadequate. They argue that this cap could jeopardize the reconciliation package crucial for implementing President Trump's agenda. The lawmakers, speaking out in a joint statement, emphasize that they have negotiated in good faith for a higher cap, highlighting that New Yorkers contribute more tax revenue than they receive. They demand a SALT cap of $100,000 for individuals and $200,000 for married couples to ensure fairness for their constituents.
We've negotiated in good faith on SALT from the start - fighting for the taxpayers we represent in New York, yet the Speaker unilaterally proposed a flat $30,000 SALT cap, which we reject.
It risks derailing President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill. New Yorkers already send far more to Washington than we get back, and a higher SALT cap isn't a luxury.
