A handful of Democrats want to hold up a $2 trillion infrastructure bill to save a choice tax deduction for the wealthy, not that you ll hear it described that way.
Josh Gottheimer, Democrat of New Jersey, made an inspired plea recently. The Harvard man and Alpha Epsilon Pi brother is a member of the so-called “SALT caucus,” a group of congressfolk threatening to hold up Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill if it doesn’t include a full repeal of a Donald Trump-imposed $10,000 cap on deductions of state and local taxes.

arrow Mayoral candidate Shaun Donovan is spending nearly $800,000 a week in television ads.
Donald Trump spent a fraction on televised ads compared to Hillary Clinton during his 2016 presidential campaign. Two years later, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez didn t bother with the expenditure when she shockingly defeated incumbent Joseph Crowley on a shoestring budget. But political experts and campaign consultants continue to gnaw over the vexing question: in the age of social media, when a cheaply-made video can deliver a viral moment, how important are TV ads in political races?
