The amendment of the Budget Act has sparked controversies, with the New Taipei City KMT Council faction criticizing the lack of support from DPP members and advocating for a fairer distribution of funds. They argue that the current system forces local governments to rely on the central government like beggars, and call for a revision to ensure equal financial allocation. Under the leadership of KMT Chairman Eric Chu, a consensus on the amendment was finally reached, proposing to return 15% of tax revenue to local governments. The faction emphasizes the necessity of reform for balanced financial distribution and rejects the notion that certain regions receive preferential treatment, highlighting the need for bipartisan support.
