Furthermore, Schumer criticized Representatives Reed and Collins for their “disservice to New York by saying that they will still vote for the plan even though it hurts so many middle-class New Yorkers.”
He added that right now, the key votes are in the hands of Reps. Stefenik and Faso. “If they were all at once to come out and say they would vote against this plan, the Republican leadership would have two choices. One, maintain the entire state and local deduction or two, let their plan fail,” said Schumer.
Moreover, Schumer said New York will be hurt the most under the GOP tax plan. He said, “We need every single member of the New York House delegation to come out against the bill and compromise is still not good.”
Cuomo says New York will get a lump of coal from Santa Trump
On the other hand, Cuomo noted the President Donald Trump’s statement that the GOP tax legislation is a Christmas gift.
The governor emphasized that New York will not receive a gift but a “lump of coal from Santa Trump.” He also described the GOP tax bill is an “arrow pointed at the heart of New York.” It is also a “bad medicine for the entire country.”
