Assemblyman, and candidate for Congress in NY-17, Mike Lawler released the following statement after the passage of the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act”.
“Today, House Democrats passed the so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ – a bill that will do nothing to combat inflation and instead raises taxes in the middle of a recession,” said Lawler.
“Not only that, but it fails to address the disastrous SALT situation for Hudson Valley residents, unleashes a tsunami of IRS auditors on working and middle-class families, imposes new fees that will result in higher energy costs, and causes our GDP to shrink over the course of the next decade.”
“The Inflation Reduction Act and Sean Patrick Maloney are both full of baloney and bad for the taxpayers of New York,” continued Lawler. “At least voters can replace one of them at the ballot box this November.”
