In Kaohsiung's mayoral and City Council elections last year, for example, campaign spending limits for mayoral and council candidates were roughly NT $ 18 million and NT $ 4 million, respectively. These figures are clearly out of line with the going "market rate" for these races.
以去年高雄市長、市議員選舉為例，市長候選人的競選經費限額是一千八百多萬元，市議員為四百多萬元，數字明顯背離行情。
