Mike Lawler says Senate offering ‘good deal’ on SALT in Trump tax bill

A major Republican in New York said he was pleased to provide taxes in the Senate version of the “Grand and Beautiful Bill” of President Donald Trump after weeks of tense work.

“I think it is a very good deal,” Representative Mike Laureler, RN.Y, told Fox News Digital, adding that we could have been able to solve “differences in trade returns,” I think it is a very good deal. We have been able to maintain the language of the house intact. “

“I think at the end of the day, it is a [four-times] Excess [state and local tax (SALT) deduction caps]. Despite the best efforts of the Senate to rid the language, we have been able to keep it. “

Luller is one of the many Republicans in the Blue State who threatened to flood the bill if it does not raise enough salt discount caps.

Salt discounts aim to provide relief to people who live in high -cost areas, especially in large cities and their suburbs.

There was no limit to salt discounts until the 2017 Trump Discounts and Jobs law (TCJA), which was crowned according to this federal tax interest at $ 10,000 for both single council and couples.

Law of the Law of the Home raised this maximum to $ 40,000 for 10 years, with families of $ 500,000 eligible for a full discount.

Republicans in the Senate, who issued the text of the draft law before midnight on Friday, reduced the benefits of the benefits to five years instead of 10.

After that, the maximum discount will return to $ 10,000 for the next five years.

“Yes, the time has been shortened, but at the end of the day, people will immediately be able to oppose them to $ 40,000, a tremendous victory,” Luller told Fox News Digital.

“The Democrats promised to reform this when they had full control in 200 and 22 and they failed to hand over. We are living on it. So you know this is a great victory in New York. It is a big victory for taxpayers throughout the country.”

Republicans in Blue State, especially those in New York and California, have pushed strongly to lift this cover. They drew it as an existential political issue in their areas, as the Republican victories were decisive to win the Republican Party and preserve the majority of its house.

They have also argued that their countries that send more money to the federal government actually support countries with low taxes that do not achieve the most revenue.

But Republicans in more countries than the Republican Party have rejected salt discounts as a reward for high -tax democratic countries to continue their own policies.

“Salt discounts allow blue countries to export their political errors (election of high tax, crazy socialism), the Americans should not support,” wrote Representative Chip Roy, R-TEXAS, on X.

Loler will not say whether his support for the deal means that he would vote for the final draft law-noting that there are other provisions that he had to read in the 940-page legislation.

But he said he believed that most of his Republican colleagues in the salt attachment would be supportive of the settlement.

“I think there is a wide consensus among most of us on how important this is, and what is the important victory,” Luller said.

Representative Nicole Malekaycis told RN.Y. , The only member of the Salt Caucus who sits on the Wething House Contract, Fox News Digital on Friday, “I can coexist with this, but very frankly, it was $ 30,000 over 10 years in which I negotiated from the ways and means that I have brought me a longer period.”

“But unfortunately, this is a group exercise and there is a lot of chefs in the kitchen,” she said.

Not everyone is on board. Representative Nick Lalota, RN.Y, referred to Fox News Digital that he rejects the deal.

He said in a written statement, “While I support the agenda of the wider president, it will be hypocritical that supporting the same not fair salt roof of $ 10,000 in criticism,” he said in a written statement.

Representative Yong Kim, R-Calif, did not comment. , On the salt deal itself, but it said on a larger scale, that its support for the draft law depends on how to operate the decisions related to discounting salt, Medicaid measures, and small business taxes.

She told a source familiar with her Fox News Digital thinking that she would vote against the bill in the House of Representatives if the most severe medical aid discounts remain in the Senate.

The Senate aims to start thinking about the legislation late on Saturday, although the final vote may come in the early hours of Sunday, if not later.

The bill can also change from time to time, with many Republican lawmakers who still express their concern.
