Larson Calls on Sec. Mnuchin To Fix The Double Taxation of Connecticut Residents in the GOP Tax Law

Washington D.C. – Today, Congressman John B. Larson (CT-01) gave the following remarks in the Ways and Means Committee hearing with Secretary Steve Mnuchin concerning the unfair double taxation that Connecticut residents are facing due to new limitations on deducting state and local taxes. Connecticut already sends more to the federal government in taxes paid than it receives in federal benefits.

"The so-called Republican tax reform is simply unfair. The 750,000 people who make itemized deductions while filing end up supplementing everyone else's tax cuts and Connecticut is one of those states that has been burdened by this inequality. I hope we can work to a correct and amend this travesty that Connecticut residents are facing," said Larson.
