WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump's off-hand offer to revisit a popular tax deduction that benefited millions of Californians met quick opposition from the Republican leader of the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday.
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley's office said he had no interest in reopening the discussion on the state and local tax deduction, which Congress capped in the 2017 federal tax overhaul.
"The Senate Finance Committee won't be revisiting the SALT deduction reforms made in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act under Chairman (Chuck) Grassley's leadership," spokesman Michael Zona said in a statement.
