Opposition questions ruling party candidate's legislative record amid revenue talks

Jiang Yizhen, director of the campaign office for Taipei mayoral candidate Eric Chu, has sharply criticized Su Chiao-ching, a legislative member from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), over the allocation of central government revenue. Jiang pointed to the newly released figures for the upcoming year's central government revenue allocation, noting that New Taipei City is set to receive approximately 107.5 billion New Taiwan dollars.

This amount represents an increase of about 10.6 billion New Taiwan dollars compared to the current year, making it the largest increase among the six special municipalities. Jiang acknowledged that an increase in local government finances is generally a positive development. However, she used this fact to question Su Chiao-ching's effectiveness and contributions during her decade-long tenure as a legislator.

"What have you done in the 10 years you've been a legislator?" Jiang posed rhetorically, implying that Su Chiao-ching has not adequately leveraged her position to secure benefits for the city or its residents. The criticism suggests that while the city's financial resources are growing, the ruling party's representative has not been proactive enough in advocating for the city's needs or ensuring equitable distribution of funds.
