Tax redistribution feud to start again

Mu criticized the DPP government for not only monopolizing political power but also the nation's finances.

She pointed out that when Chen was Taipei City's mayor, he insisted that the annual tax redistribution fund received from the central government match or exceed the city's own tax income for the year.

However, Mu said, Chen has now allowed the Executive Yuan to decrease the tax redistribution fund allocated to Taipei -- a move she said was part of a "political conspiracy" against Ma.

In order to help the KMT retain the post of Taipei City mayor in the upcoming elections, Mu said she would organize a group headed by KMT vice chairman Wu Poh-hsiung (吳伯雄) to support Ma's re-election bid, as well as to stop the central government's "conspiracy against Ma."
