U.S. Rep. Jim Himes and Republican Dan Debicella are debating tax policy in their race in the Fourth Congressional District.
Tax policy is key in lower Fairfield County, where many residents of Greenwich, New Canaan, Darien, Weston, and Westport are in the over-$250,000-per-year bracket that is at the center of the debate on a national level. Many lawmakers want to keep the tax cuts for those earning less than $250,000 per year, but many Democrats say that the Bush tax cuts should expire for those earning above that level.
