A clear majority of New Jersey voters from across the political spectrum want the federal government to restore an unlimited write-off for property tax bills and other state and local taxes, according to a recent poll.
In all, more than 60% of those surveyed by the Fairleigh Dickinson University Poll last month indicated they want a full restoration of the federal tax write-off that’s commonly referred to as SALT.
The write-off was capped at $10,000 in 2017 by former President Donald Trump and the then-Republican Congress as part of a broader overhaul of federal tax policies.
But this year, several members of the now-Democratic-controlled House of Representatives are urging President Joe Biden and their colleagues to eliminate the cap as part of a wider plan to fund a major federal infrastructure-renewal initiative.
