Governors See GOP Tax Plan Woes Deepen Budget Rift
Washington reports show governors and local officials opposing a GOP tax proposal seen as shifting deficit burden onto states. The plan caps state and local tax deductions at 10,000 dollars, mainly affecting high earners, while boosting federal taxes on beer and wine as part of a 54 billion dollar package. Governors warn the move risks double taxation and hurts states already trimming federal aid, with many states facing elections on taxes amid a slowing economy.
