“Who should chair the joint committee review is a matter that should be settled by cross-party talks,” KMT Legislator William Tseng (曾銘宗) said by telephone last night. The KMT legislative caucus was still meeting at press time last night to discuss tactics for the continued review today. KMT lawmakers disagreed, saying special arrangements should be made for special legislative sessions. DPP caucus whip Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘) said by telephone that the DPP preferred to wait and see how the KMT caucus meeting goes before making its next move. Opposition lawmakers were displeased that Su sent the spending bill to committee review despite their protest last week.
