an irony that is almost nowhere, inception new york, where we had congressional losses in the hudson valleyd. part of, it's a function of the unique circumstance. they are effectively weaponizing the issue of crime, in a fiercely contested gubernatorial race. a part of, it's a function of something deeper, which is a failure of the infrastructure, and the key to winning back the majority to 2024 as, the first african american speaker is rebuilding the infrastructure in the state. >> it is overly obsessed with the home state, but to your point, to terms the national stakes here, i think there's 45 flip-able seats in the state. you are almost back in the majority, if you just give back the new york seats. do you think the state party is engaged in this kind of hits for structure development? jay jacobs as the chair, has not resigned, people of called on him to resign. is there anything that is happening that would give one faith that the party has learned these lessons? >> the new york delegation -- >> look, that was a long pause. >> the new york delegation has a vested interest, and no one h

destinations, places, white sulphur springs in the south west virginia or lake tahoe in the west or the hudson valley in new york. as the nation's railroad network quadrupled in size between 1865 and 1890, vacationers could travel further and further afield. you had a week but if you could travel by railroad, maybe you could make it to a more location and enjoy your time away. this was part of the process by which coastal maine became a tourist mecca. and gradually people to find their way even into the center of the state of maine to a place called moosehead lake. moosehead lake is one of the largest lakes within the bounds of. one state in the country, and it is located just 15 or 20 minutes north of monson. it was actually on that map that i showed you, the one without any detail in the center of maine. all they said was something like a large lake has been discovered here. well, that was moosehead lake and it became a major tourist with big city tourists from places like boston, making their way during the summertime. companies realized that more urban vacationers meant more paying passengers. so

folks in the hudson valley are facing an affordability crisis due to record inflation, skyrocketing energy costs and the arbitrary cap on state and local taxes otherwise known as salt placed on residents in states like new york in 2017. it effectively leads to double taxation in a part of our country which already pays among the highest taxes in the nation. in rockland and westchester count yirks for instance, we pay the highest property taxes in the country, averaging well over $10,000. that's why i've introduced legislation with bipartisan support of my colleagues, representatives december pozzi toe and sheryl, begin to address this. the salt marriage penalty act would correct the flaw by the original salt act that penalizes married couples filing jointly by lifting their deduction to $20,000 rather than $10,000. this would help families in my district and across the country. ultimately we need to repeal this cap in full but in the meantime we can take concrete steps to provide hard working tax pays for the new york and across the country real tax relief. i yield back my time. the speake
