A clear majority of New Jersey voters from across the political spectrum want the federal government to restore an unlimited write-off for property tax bills and other state and local taxes, according to a recent poll.
In all, more than 60% of those surveyed by the Fairleigh Dickinson University Poll last month indicated they want a full restoration of the federal tax write-off that’s commonly referred to as SALT.
The write-off was capped at $10,000 in 2017 by former President Donald Trump and the then-Republican Congress as part of a broader overhaul of federal tax policies.
But this year, several members of the now-Democratic-controlled House of Representatives are urging President Joe Biden and their colleagues to eliminate the cap as part of a wider plan to fund a major federal infrastructure-renewal initiative.

Survey finds Fox viewers better informed than CNN, MSNBC viewers Follow Us
Question of the Day

Climate change, gun violence and Uncle Sam’s growing debt they’re among the biggest topics in politics, yet Americans don’t have a very good grasp on what the actual numbers say.
And those who favor CNN or MSNBC know even less than do those who favor Fox News or who don’t watch cable television at all, according to new polling by the Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank.
Relatively few people could place the federal government’s total debt at between $20 trillion and $30 trillion but Fox viewers were about twice as likely as CNN viewers to do so, Heartland found in the polling, conducted by Rasmussen Reports.
