Article Abstract:

Control of tax money is always understood to be a domain of the legislature and a source of immense power, however, courts have now increasingly asserted control over portions of the public money justifying it on grounds of judicial independence. Thus, the clash between legislative control and judicial control threatens to dilute traditional notions of the legislative power of the money.
