Several House GOP members from high-tax states weighed in to show their displeasure.
“I will not vote for anything that makes the SALT cap permanent,” Representative Peter King of New York said in an interview Tuesday. “Others I have spoken to feel the same way. They are more against it now than they were last November and December.”
Representative Frank LoBiondo of New Jersey said he would only look at the tax cut 2.0 legislation “if they fix SALT.” New Jersey has the highest property taxes in the country.
Still, most voters have state tax bills that fall under the $10,000 threshold and don’t feel the pain of the provision, according to Representative Randy Hultgren, an Illinois Republican.
“It’s tough. I’m in a high-tax state,” Hultgren. “But there are just a few high-tax states.”
Brady is scheduled to brief members on the legislation Thursday and his panel will start making up the legislation next week.
