President-elect Donald Trump said he’s on board for scrapping congestion pricing and lifting the cap on state and local tax deductions, The Post has learned.
In a Saturday night meeting with Republican members of New York’s House delegation at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, the incoming commander in chief agreed he would help try to nix the city’s first-in-the-nation congestion tax.
“He wants to kill it,” Staten Island Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) told The Post.
“He did agree it’s got to go,” Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) said after leaving the meeting.
“So we’re going to work through how his administration can do so,” he added.
Trump, 78, also said he supported the Republican pols’ effort to raise a cap on the amount of state and local taxes New Yorkers can deduct from their federal taxes known as the SALT cap, the pols said.
“He’s fully on board with lifting the cap on SALT,” Lawler said.
“The president reiterated his support for lifting the cap on SALT and talking to us about the need to come up with a number and work through it and build consensus in the House,” he added.
“He said that he understands the plight of New Yorkers who are being abused by our mayor and our governor who treat them like ATMs, and he wants to provide SALT relief,” Malliotakis said.
