A Bergen County homeowner making $150,000 a year and owning a $600,000 house can expect to pay as much as $12,000 in property taxes and $5,000 in state income taxes.
Until 2018, taxpayers could deduct that full amount on their federal income tax returns. But Republicans capped that tax break at $10,000.

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace confronted Jake Sullivan, President Joe Biden s national security adviser, over the administration s plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan by September, pointing to challenges that arose as the U.S. drew down its forces in Iraq.
Biden announced last Wednesday that his administration would bring an end to America s longest war by September 11, marking the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks against Washington, D.C. and New York that the U.S. used as justification to invade Afghanistan in 2001. But Biden has received swift pushback from many top Republicans, who have strongly criticized the decision and warned of greater instability.

Congress poised for battle over reparations for Black Americans Reuters 5 hrs ago
By Richard Cowan
WASHINGTON, April 15 (Reuters) - Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have advanced a bill that could pave the way to reparations for Black Americans as part of a broader effort to address centuries of enslavement and institutional racism.
The House Judiciary Committee late on Wednesday voted 25-17 to create a commission to draft reparation proposals, an idea first proposed in Congress three decades ago. No Republicans voted to support the measure, a committee spokeswoman said. Slavery was this country’s original sin. Our Constitution protected it and we continue to grapple with its effects today, Democratic Representative Steve Cohen, a senior committee member, tweeted late on Wednesday.
