New York Lawmakers Play Hardball on Tax Deductions

“That powerful bloc, representing 17 out of 19 Democrats in the delegation, sent a letter to House leaders to outline their position on the issue, known as SALT, as negotiations intensified across Washington this week on Biden’s next major legislative priority.”
