IRS takes aim at Cuomo plan to ease burden of new federal tax law on NY
Cuomo reacted angrily, calling the pending IRS action the latest assault on the state from "a disastrous tax bill that put corporations over people and specifically targeted New York and other Democratic states with the elimination of full state and local tax deductibility."
The governor said it was ironic that President Donald Trump visited Long Island on Wednesday, where the tax overhaul passed by the Republican Congress will disproportionately affect residents who have a higher tax burden than those living outside of the New York City metropolitan area.
"The IRS should not be used as a political weapon," Cuomo said, "and I urge this administration to stop its partisan assault on New Yorkers and instead work with us to deliver real, lasting relief for hardworking families."
