Washington, DC – Today, SALT Caucus Republican Co-Chairs Reps. Young Kim (CA-40) and Andrew Garbarino (NY-02) released a statement on the importance of preserving the fair SALT deal secured in H.R. 1 in the Senate.
“When did taxing income that’s already been taxed become a Republican ideal? Our party has always stood for lower taxes and a fair, commonsense tax code. We worked in good faith with House leadership to secure a fair deal that provides our constituents with much-needed SALT relief. Hardworking families we represent are penalized by the SALT cap, and this deal keeps the President’s commitment to fix this issue and has the support of firefighters, police, small businesses and working Americans who keep our country moving. The Senate would be remiss to forget that the path to 218 — and delivering for the American people — runs through the SALT Caucus.”
Reps. Kim and Garbarino, along with Reps. Mike Lawler (NY-17), Nick LaLota (NY-01), Tom Kean (NJ-07), and Elise Stefanik (NY-21) secured a 400% increase in the cap on SALT deductions, allowing hardworking California families to keep more money in their pockets and providing vital relief for her constituents hurt by the current $10,000 SALT cap.
