Rep. Pat Ryan is urging President-elect Donald Trump to include Democrats in discussions about the future of the cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes, or SALT.

“If President-elect Trump is serious about removing the SALT cap and ending double taxation, he’s going to need bipartisan support,” the Hudson Valley Democrat said in a statement shared first with Spectrum News NY1. “I’ll go to Mar-A-Lago myself if that’s what it takes.”

Trump is set to meet in the coming days with so-called “SALT Republicans,” who have been among the most outspoken in demanding the $10,000 cap on the tax deduction be lifted.

The group includes Long Island Rep. Nick LaLota and Hudson Valley Rep. Mike Lawler.

During his first term, Trump signed the $10,000 cap into law as part of the 2017 Republican tax rewrite. However, while campaigning on Long Island last year, Trump pledged to “get SALT back.”

A cap on SALT disproportionately hurts taxpayers in blue states like New York, where property and state income taxes are relatively high. Lifting it is a priority for New York Democrats and Republicans alike.

Invoking the 2017 bill, Ryan said, “My fear, to be quite honest, is that Trump is going to put on this charade and then roll over House Republicans, just like he did in 2017.”

“Let’s get everyone to the table now – it’s time to remove the SALT cap once and for all,” he said.

SALT is expected to be part of the negotiations as Republicans look to bundle together a bill that includes extending the 2017 tax cuts.  Without action, the cap—as well as the 2017 tax reductions— will expire at the end of the year.

After the November election, Ryan wrote to Trump and his team, urging them to work with Democrats and Republicans on a standalone bill to address SALT.
