Two days after attending New Jersey Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s Summer of SALT campaign kickoff in Woodland Park, AFT President Randi Weingarten on June 23 participated in a Washington, D.C., event in support of the Sherrill-led effort to repeal the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap that affects New Jersey and other high-tax states.
Also on hand was Rutgers University professor and Rutgers AAUP-AFT member Patrice Mareschal, who said the SALT cap has increased her taxes, adding that it is a “gut punch” to middle-class families.
