Pass The SALT: LI House Republicans Push Speaker Johnson on NY Taxes

"New York Republican moderates and House GOP leaders reached an agreement to consider a bill addressing the state and local tax deduction (SALT) within the next week after a group of Empire State lawmakers threatened to block legislative action over the issue," reported The Hill. This agreement followed a voting revolt by local House members, described in Roll Call: "Nick LaLota [R-North Shore Suffolk], Mike Lawler [R-Lower Hudson Valley], Anthony D’Esposito [R-Town of Hempstead] and Andrew Garbarino [R-South Shore Suffolk] initially voted against the rule before changing their votes. Democrats also voted against the rule, which is typical of the party in the minority."
