New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) talks about the news that State Sen. Gianaris (D Queens) will have a seat on the board that could vote against the Amazon deal, the state tax revenue shortfall and more.

On Trump's tax reform: "It was complicated so people didn’t get it.... There was a provision that ended SALT, what it did was it set up two tax structures in this nation and the Democratic states pay higher taxes than the Republican states," says @NYGovCuomo.

"The states with the largest revenue decline in the country: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, Massachusetts. Those are all states impacted by SALT," says @NYGovCuomo.

"SALT only affects the richer people in society. You get to a state like New York where you are disproportionately dependent on the richest. 1% of the richest pay 50% of the taxes. I believe Trump knew exactly what he was doing," says @NYGovCuomo.

Will you reject @SenGianaris’s appointment to the PACB?

“We’re not there yet,” @NYGovCuomo tells @BrianLehrer, seeming to imply the mechanics of the deal aren’t finalized
