The House Rules Committee advanced a State and Local Tax (SALT) relief bill, doubling the SALT cap for married filers with an income cap for eligibility. New York moderate Republicans, including @RepMikeLawler, pushed for the bill, which faced criticism for not going through committee and lacking a CBO score. The rule to consider the bill passed the committee 8-5, with @chiproytx voting no and Rep. Thomas Massie initially voicing process concerns but ultimately voting yes. Heritage Action expressed opposition to the bill, signaling potential challenges in garnering House Republican support.
Heritage Action out with messaging against the SALT "marriage penalty elimination" bill that moderate New Yorkers got through Rules Committee today. Not a good sign for House R support for the bill -- and the normally party-line procedural rule vote to bring it up https://t.co/5QWocYvHyS
New York Republicans who staged a floor rebellion earlier this week got a win when a House panel advanced a State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction bill in a last-minute hearing. https://t.co/xzGaQzebZc https://t.co/cox5GnlUev
Moderates who rebelled against GOP leaders notch win in advancing SALT bill https://t.co/xJnwBNGdAZ Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Chip Roy had both voiced process concerns, but only Roy joined with Democrats to vote no in Rules Committee
THE HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE has passed the rule to consider the SALT relief bill. Rule passed committee 8-5, with @chiproytx voting no. Massie, who sounded like a no all hearing, returned from an extended recess and voted yes.
This rules vote on salt is a true test of whether @RepRalphNorman, @RepThomasMassie and @chiproytx are true adherents to regular order. This salt bill was introduced last night, hasn’t gone through committee, no cbo score.
McGovern with sharp criticism of House Republicans. Says the salt relief bill didn’t go through committee, doesn’t have CBO score and there’s no sense whether ways and means chair supports it either.
Even if the Rules Committee clears the rule for the SALT bill offered by NY Rs, it won't be considered this week. https://t.co/W7cGsUmzCt
Some big R names voting yes including SALT concerned Rs like @RepMikeLawler who showed what real lawmakers do. He went to work instead of whining & now Rules is taking up his bill doubling SALT cap for married filers w/ an income cap for eligibility. Most serious SALT bill yet. https://t.co/dSoinPxEct
And here it is. New York moderate Rs who mounted SALT dam in floor rebellion on Tuesday getting Lawler's SALT bill brought up in emergency Rules Committee hearing tomorrow morning: https://t.co/En1kvfj4Wt
