Tax plan debate shapes views on state tax deductibility
In Syracuse on Wednesday a debate over Reagan tax reform divided supporters and opponents. Proponents want to end state and local tax deductibility, argued as federalist, while opponents say high tax states like New York would lose. Senate leader Dole signaled a possible compromise, while Governor Cuomo backed Young and opposed any compromise on the issue.

Buckley Faces Hurdles for Federal Court Seat
The Reagan administration plans to use a loophole to push Buckley into a senior judicial post. Buckley, once slated for a New York Court of Appeals nomination, faced NYC Bar opposition and was labeled not approved due to lack of demonstrated professional background.
