House Republicans were set to meet Thursday to discuss the possibility of changing one of the major provisions in the GOP tax reform plan meant to pay for tax rate reductions: the elimination of the deduction for state and local taxes.

Republicans from blue states that rely heavily on the deduction were scheduled to meet with the lower chamber’s top taxwriter to discuss ways to make sure the tax proposal doesn’t raise taxes for their constituents, a conversation also unfolding among Republicans on the House floor and in phone calls.
