NYS Democratic Committee Director Comments on GOP Tax Plan



The following statement was submitted by executive director Geoff Berman. 

“To New York Congressional members: Voting no on this abominable plan is not enough. You must send a message loud and clear to your party leadership that they shouldn’t abuse New York taxpayers to fund tax cuts for the rich in other states. The repeal of the SALT deduction is designed to directly penalize New Yorkers, and if these members are effective at their jobs they should be able to get their political bosses to repeal this ugly, anti-New York provision. Anything less is unacceptable. If they are not effective, then they are complicit. These members should be voted out of office and someone who actually represents the interest of their constituents should be elected in. Not eliminating this destructive provision is a dereliction of duty, and next November voters will make their voices heard.”
