Congressman Nick Langworthy hosted a roundtable with the WNY Restaurant Association to discuss tax policies, including Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the No Tax on Tips Act, as well as his Energy Choice Act, which opposes state bans on natural gas.
Local restaurant owners voiced concerns over New York’s high taxes and regulations, which rank worst in the nation for business competitiveness. Langworthy emphasized his commitment to supporting the hospitality industry through federal policies that reduce financial burdens.
The NYS Restaurant Association welcomed the discussion, stressing the importance of policy decisions that impact small business owners. Langworthy pledged to continue working toward solutions that help restaurants thrive.
