As the Maine Center for Economic Policy pointed out in a recent blog post, much of the benefit from the SALT tax would go to the top 1 percent in Maine — people earning over $560,000 a year. This is why Rep. Jared Golden opposes efforts to increase the SALT deduction in the reconciliation package. While I strongly support the BBBA because I think that it would benefit the people in Maine, I am glad that Golden is standing up to try to make sure that tax breaks benefit people who really need them.
Letter: Golden right to be concerned about SALT increase
