Cuomo shared Schumer’s view that the GOP’s compromise on SALT deductions doesn’t work. The GOP tax legislation is a double taxation.
According to him, New York is starting with a $4 billion deficit this year. It is ludicrous to say that its economy can handle the impact of taking away SALT deductions.
Cuomo is urging Republican members of New York congregational delegation to vote as a New Yorker. He emphasized that they should not vote as partisan.
According to him, “They can try to rush this vote and get it passed and I’ll tell you what’s going to happen the next day. You’re going to see this nation rise up and call for a repeal of what they just did.”
