Saratoga, NY – Today, New York Reps. Elise Stefanik, Andrew Garbarino, Nick LaLota, and Mike Lawler released a joint statement on SALT:
"We’ve negotiated in good faith on SALT from the start—fighting for the taxpayers we represent in New York.
Yet with no notice or agreement, the Speaker and the House Ways and Means Committee unilaterally proposed a flat $30,000 SALT cap—an amount they already knew would fall short of earning our support.
It’s not just insulting—it risks derailing President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
New Yorkers already send far more to Washington than we get back—unlike many so-called “low-tax” states that depend heavily on federal largesse.
A higher SALT cap isn’t a luxury. It’s a matter of fairness.
We reject this offer.”
