BUFFALO, N.Y. -- We'll have to wait a little longer to find out exactly what's in the Republican tax plan. Plans to unveil it Wednesday were postponed a day, but the criticism is already coming in.

"They're using New York as a piggy bank to finance tax cuts in other states," Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-NY, said.

Cuomo said the exact details don't matter all that much if, as expected, it includes eliminating the deduction for state and local income tax.

"There is no question but that if one of these plans passes, quote-unquote compromises, taxes will go up on people in Upstate New York, in the Southern Tier, in Western New York," he said.

In fact, the plan is presented as a compromise by House Republicans, who initially considered eliminating the local property tax deduction as well.

Rep. Chris Collins said he's confident it's been restored although it may be capped.

"Middle-income earners in America, whether you live in New York or in Alabama, for the vast majority and when I hear that are more like 95+ percent, are going to have a reduction in their income taxes," he said.

Cuomo said eliminating the income tax deduction will chase rich New Yorkers out of the state which then falls on the middle class.

"You chase rich people from this state, you now have to close a $4 billion deficit and make up the deficit for those rich people who left," he said.

Collins admitted the plan will likely be an increase for the state's millionaires, but he said they're the ones who can afford it.

"If they could've left, they would've already left and a lot of them have," he said.

Cuomo pointed out that Collins and Rep. Tom Reed were the only two New York Republicans who voted for the House spending bill which paved the way for the tax bill.

"Why would seven Republican Congress people buck their president and their congressional leaders unless it really hurt their constituents and this will really hurt their constituents," he asked.

Collins believed most of his colleagues who voted ‘no’ were concerned about the property tax component.

"I was highly confident and I was right that there would be an accommodation for New York and everywhere else on property taxes and there is," he said.

While the congressman said the governor needs to take responsibility for New York's bloated budget, Cuomo said his entire tenure has been devoted to reducing spending.
