Sparks fly over taxes that mainly affect the Republicans, representing districts in democratically controlled states and sending tensions Donald Trump‘S “Big, nice bill.”
The fight is more precisely about state and local tax deductions that are colloquially known as salt.
The Republican legislator, which represents top -class areas outside of large cities, had prompted the managers to increase the current upper limit for salt deductions for individual filers and married couples in Trumps.
On Thursday evening, however, the leaders of the house of the house of the house emphasized what they said, an offer of GOP managers to increase this deduction to $ 30,000.

“From the beginning we have negotiated in good faith over salt – to fight for the taxpayers that we represent in New York. But without notice or agreement, the spokesman and the House Ways and Means Committee unilaterally proposed a flat salt cap of 30,000 US dollars – an amount of which they already knew that we would earn our support,” said the explanation.
“It is not only offensive – there is risks to derail from President Trump A big nice bill. New Yorkers are already sending far more to Washington than back in contrast to many so-called “low-stax” countries, which depend heavily on the federal border. A higher salt cap is not a luxury. It is a question of fairness. We reject this offer. “
The explanation was made by Reps. Mike Lawler, Rn.Y., Nick Lalota, Rn.Y., Elise Stefanik, Rn.y. and Andrew Garrarino, Rn.Y.
However, the entire delegation is not on board.
The MP Nicole Malliotakis, Rn.Y., whose district comprises a piece of South Brooklyn and all Staten Island, first said Fox News Digital that she could support an upper limit of $ 30,000.
“Everyone has to work for the needs of their district. The tripling of the deduction to $ 30,000 will offer the bourgeois class an urgently needed relief and 98% of families cover in my district,” she said.
However, a spokesman for Johnson pointed out that there was no obligation to any number.
In addition to a report on X, the press spokeswoman Athina Lawson wrote that Johnson “recognized the number of $ 30,000” in order to add an important, missing context: What the speaker actually said is that this is a number, among other things, during ongoing discussions among members. “

She referred to comments that Johnson made to reporter on Thursday when she was asked about the number. “I heard this number and also heard others.”
“It is still a permanent discussion among the members,” said Johnson. “I will not hinder it because I am not sure what that is, but there are a lot of analyzes that go into it.”
The Republican majorities in the house and the Senate are working on driving Trump’s agenda about the Budget reconciliation processWhat the power of power enables a massive law without moving without the opposing party’s input, provided that it deals with household and other fiscal matters.
It is a massive effort in several jurisdiction committees.
The Ways & Means Committee, the tax writing committee of the house, is expected to present its part of the invoice within a few days.

A meeting to expect this legislation on Tuesday afternoon, the people familiar with the planning told Fox News Digital.
Malliotakis is the only member of the committee that is also a member of the Salz -Caucus.
The Republicans in California, New York and New Jersey have pushed for the reconciliation bill to increase the salt trigger limit, which was implemented for the first time after Trump’s tax cuts and jobs for 2017.
Some legislators have proposed to raise the upper limit to up to $ 100,000, which the Republicans have largely rejected in other areas.
The Republicans of the Blue State, which push for a larger deduction, have argued that the problem for their voters is of crucial importance.

They are also the most endangered legislators at the House GOP conference, and their seats are the key to Republicans who stick to their slim majority.
The Republicans for increasing the salt deduction have also pointed out that they benefit people in top -class areas outside of large cities, but the states that are paying more tax money back for programs that ultimately benefit the whole country.

However, others in conservative circles have pushed their efforts back.
“The Republican margin is so small in the house that a handful of republicans in New England influence a lot about this legislation and increasing this deduction,” said Marc Short, Alumnus of Trump’s first administration, who played a key role in the 2017 tax negotiations.
“From a tax perspective, I think it is unfair that they basically take a large part of Central America that lives in states that are better ruled, and they ask to subsidize the residents in states that are poorly managed and continue to generate major deficits.”
