Garcia Attempted To Implement ‘SALT Fairness’ Amendment To COVID Relief, Failed
Congressman Mike Garcia, R-Santa Clarita, attempted to amend the COVID Relief bill that was passed over the weekend with SALT Fairness, which would have repealed the SALT deduction cap.
Garcia introduced the State and Local Tax (SALT) Fairness amendment to the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill.
“One of my top priorities in Congress from day one has been to repeal the SALT deduction cap, which is why I have introduced an amendment to do just that,” Garcia, said. “Since the COVID-19 relief bill only puts nine percent towards actual relief, I thought this would be a chance to make this bill do what it should do, provide relief to Americans hurting as a result of COVID-19 and related lockdowns.”
