The protests of a small group of Blue State Republicans demanding the reinstatement of the State and Local tax deduction cap killed in convicted felon President Trump’s 2017 bill are being ignored as the “Big Beautiful Bill” is being written, Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman reports, writing that a $30,000 cap won’t cut it for “moderate” Mike Lawler who claims he’ll vote against the bill.
Weinery Ways and Means chair Jason Smith reportedly told Lawler and the others it isn’t his job to negotiate with members who aren’t in his committee. Really stepping up to the plate there, Jay.
