Jack’s Not for Jersey Taxpayers: “Ciattarelli Supported Ending Cap on Local Tax Deductions, Now Favors Law That Keeps It"
TRENTON, NJ – “Had Trump’s budget law not been passed this summer, the SALT cap would have expired,” the Jersey Independent writes in a new report.
But it passed, and Donald Trump signed it into law. That’s thanks to the “full-throated support” of people like Jack Ciattarelli, who said, “Shame on any Republican across the country that doesn’t support this. The president supports it.”
But “The law Ciattarelli is applauding doesn’t remove the so-called SALT cap… it only extends and raises it.”
Jack’s only in this for himself and for Donald Trump, not New Jersey taxpayers.
Jersey Independent: Ciattarelli supported ending cap on local tax deductions, now favors law that keeps it
By Will Fritz
The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act implemented a $10,000 cap on the SALT deduction, which was set to expire this year prior to the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Prior to the enactment of the 2017 law, taxpayers could write off all state and local taxes on their federal returns.
[Jack] Ciattarelli detailed his support for removing the cap in a 2022 op-ed in the New Jersey Globe.
Now Ciattarelli is offering full-throated support of the law that keeps the cap in place.
“Shame on any Republican across the country that doesn’t support this. The president supports it,” he said in an interview on Philadelphia-area radio station WPHT.
Had Trump’s budget law not been passed this summer, the SALT cap would have expired.
“Instead of letting the SALT cap expire for good, Washington Republicans have reinstated this double tax on the Garden State,” Mikie Sherrill, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Democratic nominee for governor of New Jersey, said in a July 1 statement after the U.S. Senate voted to pass the law.
