President Donald Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” has been signed into law. Both sides of the aisle are arguing whether the cons outweigh the pros.
Republicans say it will result in lots of savings for Long Islanders due to the new SALT deduction. Democrats argue it will result in harmful cuts in things like nutritional assistance programs and Medicaid.
Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY4) joins Kurt Semder to speak about the bill and many more topics that affect Long Islanders.
