Lawler Outlines Policy Proposals to Address Cost of Living in New York

Mike Lawler stated that the cost of living is the primary concern for residents of New York. He proposed several measures to address this, including lifting the cap on capital gains for home sales and prohibiting insurance companies from using dog-walking providers and Pharmacy Benefit Managers. Lawler also emphasized expanding vocational schools and reforming immigration to boost the economy.

Lawler highlighted his past action of passing the SALT Cap increase from $10,000 to $40,000, which he claims returned over $4,000 to New Yorkers. His proposals touch on tax policy, healthcare costs for small businesses, and labor supply through immigration reform.
