A fight has broken out over New Taipei's share of central government money, with the KMT camp accusing DPP rival Su Chiao-hui of complaining about a system she never tried to fix.

• New Taipei is set to get about NT$107 billion more from the central tax pool next year, the biggest increase among Taiwan's six special municipalities.
• Su Chiao-hui called the allocation system deeply unfair to New Taipei, drawing a sharp response from Chiang Yi-chen, who runs Li Si-chuan's campaign office.
• The counterattack: neither Su, her father and former premier Su Tseng-chang, nor the DPP caucus ever put forward their own version of the fiscal allocation law during a decade in power.
• Li Si-chuan's camp says the central government is giving with one hand and taking with the other, cutting general and project subsidies as the tax share rises.
• The challenge to Su: as a sitting lawmaker, press President Lai Ching-te and Premier Cho Jung-tai now rather than wait for the mayor's office.

Outlook: Expect the money fight to stay central to the New Taipei mayoral race, with pressure building on the central government to explain the subsidy cuts.
