At least some of those voted no because there is still too much sending.

As someone from NJ, I understand why those from my state voted no. The current legislation does away with the deductability of local taxes. Not so much state taxes, but local municipal property taxes. What this means is that a lot of middle class homeowners in NJ and NY will be getting a tax increase not a decrease. Any politician in NJ or suburban NY would lose their seat if they voted for this current legislation. For someone making in the high five low six figures, this would be a bigger tax increase than Obama or Bubba ever hit them with. If you are a GOPer in North Jersey or Long Island it would be political suicide to get on this train.
