Some members\u2064 of the caucus are\u200c even threatening to disrupt the passage of the tax \u2062package if it doesn&#8217;t include SALT relief.<\/p>\n<p>With a\u2063 slim majority in the House, Republicans need near unanimity to\u2064 pass their\u200d tax package. However, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY)\u200c and \u200bothers have made it clear that they\u200c won&#8217;t support any package without SALT relief. They are prepared\u200d to\u200c use their\u200b leverage, just as the conservative Freedom Caucus did in the past.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Just the same way \u200bthat \u2063those in the Freedom Caucus have been leveraging \u2062their votes\u2062 to get things they want, the reality \u2063is two can play that game. And we will not support anything that does \u200dnot include a fix for SALT. That\u2019s up to them\u2062 how they handle it. Doing nothing is\u2062 not an answer and I won\u2019t \u200caccept that as part \u200dof any tax bill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Rep. Mike \u200dLawler \u2062(R-NY)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However,\u2062 other members of the SALT caucus believe that it would \u2063be more strategic and economically sensible\u2063 to pass the tax\u2062 package first and negotiate SALT\u200d relief on a bipartisan basis later. They\u2063 see the expiration of the cap\u200c in 2025 as an opportunity to achieve a significant win.<\/p>\n<p>One bill in the planned House\u2062 tax package, put forward by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) and Rep. Michelle Steel \u2063(R-CA), aims to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gov-josh-shapiros-first-budget-sheds-light-on-priorities-for-pennsylvania\/\" title=\"Gov.

Rep. \u200dLawler, representing one of the \u2062country&#8217;s wealthiest districts, remains firm in his stance against a vote without SALT relief.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the divisions within the GOP, there is \u200balso \u2063opposition to repealing \u200dthe SALT cap. Critics argue that it disproportionately benefits the wealthy and removing the cap encourages\u2064 more responsible fiscal behavior from states and local jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>As negotiations continue between the Ways and Means Committee and the\u2062 SALT caucus, the fate \u200bof SALT relief in the\u200c tax package\u2064 remains uncertain. \u2063However, dialogue \u200dand \u2062meetings\u2064 are ongoing, indicating \u2062a \u200cwillingness to find a resolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue-state House Republicans are divided on pushing for state and local tax deductions for their wealthy states, jeopardizing their bid for concessions from conservatives during the GOP&#8217;s tax legislation passage.
