Legislature finally passes US arms budget

The resolution says the budget will not be released until a bill to legalize the commission has been enacted and members selected.

KMT legislative caucus whip Tseng Yung-chuan (曾永權) said that the resolution was aimed at restricting the authority of the CEC, which he said was partisan.

The DPP is considering calling for an extra session to screen two government budget requests that remain stalled: the NT$3.3 trillion budget for state-owned enterprises and governmental non-profit funds and the NT$77.3 billion budget for public construction projects.
