DEMOCRATS in high-cost, high-tax states are plotting ways to do what their states' representatives in Congress could not: Blunt the effect of the newly passed Republican tax overhaul.
Governors and legislative leaders in New York, California and other states are considering legal challenges to elements of the law that they say unfairly single out parts of the country. They are looking at ways of raising revenue that are not penalised by the new law.
