Rep. Claudia Tenney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New Yorkers Cannot Afford to Lose Itemized Deductions<\/em><\/p>\n

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R\u2014NY) released the following statement in response to President Donald J. Trump\u2019s tax reform plan:<\/p>\n

\u201cCongress and the president both agree that reforming our tax code is vitally important and a top priority. As a small business owner and a resident of nearly the highest taxed state in the nation, I have seen firsthand the devastation caused to our region by the complex, unfair tax code.<\/em><\/p>\n

“In New York, soaring taxes have driven businesses and residents out of our state in droves, destroying our local economy.\u00a0 Lowering tax rates will provide <\/em>much needed relief while encouraging economic growth and job creation throughout the entire nation; however, although I agree with many aspects of the President\u2019s plan, I cannot support repealing itemized deductions for state and local tax payments. <\/em><\/p>\n

“Until New York completely overhauls its tax code, removing this provision will strip New Yorkers of their only real relief. Going forward I will continue to fight for comprehensive tax reform while working to ensure that New Yorkers are not unfairly burdened by any change to the tax code.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
