Democratic governors in three blue states announced Friday that they’re planning to sue President Trump over the tax plan passed late last year for the elimination of the state and local tax deduction.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York said the bill was a “fundamental violation of states’ rights” in a conference call, according to USA Today.
Govs. Dannel Malloy of Connecticut and Phil Murphy of New Jersey, both of who plan to join Mr. Cuomo as a “coalition,” were also on the call.
“I believe it is illegal,” Mr. Malloy said. “It is why we are standing up and saying this can’t happen.”
The governors said their states already give back enough tax revenue and that they’re still deciding how to proceed with their lawsuit.
