It helps to have separate revenue sources for the two parties. We do, which makes funding the needs of each party somewhat easier. The negotiations of course then concern themselves with "combined" spending. However, our form of government maintains separate motor pools, and each branch has to come up with the funds for O&M of each.
I just made a tiny change to my previous post, by the way. 100,000 samples is closer to four tankfuls than five. And, I KNOW (from monitoring the dash Avg MPG display and comparing it to the Gryphon's) that the dash display is more sensitive to change than the Gryphon, suggesting that it uses a smaller sample size. Still, resetting at each fillup may give misleading results. But, I dunno?
