Standing with brand new Long Island homeowners on February 21st, 2017, and amidst rising local anxiety about looming tax proposals, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer launched a push to preserve very popular and essential, but, nevertheless, at-risk tax deductions Long Island homeowners and taxpayers depend upon to keep LI’s high cost of living in-check. Whether new Long Island homeowners, longtime owners, or those looking to buy right now, Schumer explained that locals are in tax jeopardy as newly-confirmed U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and many Republicans in Congress have suggested limiting or eliminating the mortgage interest and state and local property tax deductions. Schumer said that reductions to—or the removing of these sorts of tax deductions—would hit LI particularly hard, given the high local cost of owning a home. Schumer has pledged to fight any efforts that would rollback critical savings deductions used by Long Island homeowners and taxpayers.
