Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : "There shouldn't be any federal law or regulation that should limit or interfere with the constitutional or statutory rights of local governments to develop and operate their own tax systems that really benefit their constituents," Irma Esparza Diggs, senior executive and director of federal advocacy for the National League of Cities, told The Hill prior to speaking at a virtual event Wednesday held by Reps. Thomas Suozzi (D-N.Y.) and Young Kim (R-Calif.).
41% : Experts at left-leaning think tanks, including the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy and the Center for American Progress, have also raised concerns about repealing the SALT deduction cap without any sort of replacement because doing so would benefit the wealthy.
