We were promised a tax cut. Instead we got the federal cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions. Now, Congress is considering a plan that would continue this penalty on middle-class homeowners in high-cost areas across the country.

It penalizes middle-class families in regions with high property taxes.
It makes it harder to own a home or stay in our communities.
