Note
A regular -s plural, and only the noun takes it. The adjective in fiscal policy never changes form, so a plural always means people or birds. Most often these are public officials: treasury controllers, or prosecutors in legal systems such as the Philippines'. The same spelling also names African shrikes of the genus Lanius, and context alone tells the reader which is meant.
