ALBANY, N.Y. -- Democrats and Republicans alike in New York are nervous about a tax proposal from President Donald Trump that could have a big impact in New York.

"New York being a state with higher taxes, local property taxes, state taxes, there's no doubt it would be very disruptive to working families, to middle class families," said Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, D-New York.

The proposal would end the deduction of state and local taxes from the federal income tax. That means New Yorkers, who already pay some of the highest property taxes in the country, wouldn't be able to get that relief when they pay the federal tax.

"You look at the loss of money coming to the state that would happen with the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, if that would happen, the other cuts in state and local spending if that happens, this was not the change that people were voting for," DiNapoli said.

In Albany, legislative leaders like Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie have called on members of Congress to push back.

"To not deduct your state and city taxes will be a pretty heavy load on us and will really be hitting the middle class right in the stomach," said Heastie, D-Bronx.

In a statement, Republican Senate Majority Leader John Flangan said he had grave concern with the proposal. Also expressing unease: Republican House members John Faso and Claudia Tenney, but state Sen. John DeFrancisco is not worried.

"If the standards and deductions are being increased, if there's other benefits from the simplifcation of taxes, if the alternate minimum tax changes and its not available anymore, it still may be a reduction in taxes," said DeFrancisco, R-Syracuse.

DeFrancisco acknowledges there could be an impact if deductions go away, but he says that could force New York state and local governments to tax less.

"The remedy for New York not being able to deduct their property taxes as a deduction on their federal income tax returns and whatever deductions are available is for New York state not to tax so much," DeFrancisco said.

So far, the Trump tax plan hasn't moved forward in Washington all that much with this week's focus on the Affordable Care Act.
