ALBANY — President Trump's budget director defended a tax reform plan
to eliminate the deductibility of state and local taxes by saying it's
not Washington's fault New York's taxes are so high.
Gov. Cuomo, state Democrats and even some Republicans have said high-tax states like New York would be severely hurt if Congress eliminates or changes the federal deductibility of state and local taxes.
"Whose fault is that?," White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told regional reporters, according to the Buffalo News. "Is it the federal government's fault that New York taxes are so high that they're driving people out of the state?"
Mulvaney added that "I don't think it's up to the federal government to save New York from its bad decisions."
