House Speaker Mike Johnson is open to SALT cap relief, according to a bloc of centrist Republicans from New York whose votes he won.
“Speaker Johnson has assured me throughout this process that the SALT cap will be addressed in a substantive way that benefits overtaxed Long Islanders during upcoming tax package negotiations, and I look forward to working with the Speaker to get that done,” D’Esposito said in a statement. “He acknowledges that providing SALT relief is critical for middle-class Americans burdened by double taxation and must be addressed in any tax bill the House considers,” he said.
Changes to the SALT cap were made a major priority last year by a bipartisan group of lawmakers from high-tax states.
