Mikie Sherrill: “On this sixth day of SALT, my constituents have said to me that they want me to read a resolution from the New Jersey…”

“On this sixth day of SALT, my constituents have said to me that they want me to read a resolution from the New Jersey State League of Municipalities. In a unanimous, bipartisan resolution signed this month, the mayors of New Jersey urged Congress to act on SALT. Today, I would like to read part of this resolution into the Record. New Jersey State League of Municipalities Conference Resolution Number 2019-14: Whereas, our tax obligation is an issue that concerns all residents in every municipality in the State of New Jersey; and Whereas, many New Jersey families relied upon the Federal SALT deduction to ensure tax fairness, and capping the SALT deduction has placed an unfair burden on New Jersey homeowners; and Whereas, the SALT deduction cap presents a barrier to affordable homeownership in New Jersey, impacting the ability of new, young families to prosper in the future, Now, therefore, be it resolved that the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, in conference assembled, urges Congress to restore the full SALT deduction and provide more equitable taxation once again to residents of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, it is time to listen to our local elected officials, and I thank Committeewoman Amalia Duarte of Mendham Township for leading this resolution. ____________________”
