District 17 (White Plains North to Rockland County) Congressman Mondaire Jones with fellow Congressman Thomas Suozzi and bill sponsor, this morning in White Plains NY, discussing where the push for SALT (State and Local Taxes) repeal of the 2017 law is now and how they hope to assure repeal to aid New Yorkers and other states affected by the SALT limitation on state and local tax deductions.

Before the cap was placed on the deduction, more than 230,000 Westchester County residents and over 67,000 Rockland County residents used the SALT deduction – many of whom are working, middle-class families. The average SALT deduction for Westchester and Rockland in 2017 was $36,263 and $22,249.

In Congress, Suozzi is the lead sponsor of the SALT Deductibility Act, legislation that would repeal the SALT cap. Jones is an original co-sponsor and Bowman is a co-sponsor of that legislation. In 2019, the House passed legislation to repeal the cap, but was blocked by a then Republican controlled Senate.
