                         ELIMINATE THE SALT CAP

  (Ms. GILLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GILLEN. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to address the unfair double 
taxation that my constituents are facing due to the State and local tax 
deduction cap.
  Hardworking families across Long Island and across our State and many 
other States already face some of the highest tax burdens in the 
Nation. For 8 years, they have been unfairly penalized and subject to 
double taxation.
  I have heard from countless hardworking families in my district over 
the past few years who have had to pay tens of thousands of dollars 
more in taxes, making their lives even more expensive and adding to the 
cost-of-living crisis on Long Island.
  Last year, the President came to my district and vowed to get SALT 
back. My constituents deserve this real relief; so let's go.
  I will continue to push for a full repeal of this cap, and I urge my 
colleagues on both sides of the aisle to do the same. Anything less 
than eliminating the SALT cap and restoring the full deduction fails 
Long Island and fails our State.
