Goiás 247 - One of Goiânia's main demands is related to traffic. The number of agents is insufficient to monitor the city's heavy traffic. To head the Municipal Traffic Department (SMT), Mayor Iris Rezende (PMDB) appointed councilman Felisberto Tavares (PR).
In an interview with the Giro column of O Popular newspaper, the new secretary presented a completely dilapidated department. He said that most of the vehicles are out of service due to lack of maintenance and the inspection equipment has been broken for five months. Tavares also revealed that there is no money for expenses such as rent, water, and electricity.
The secretary also stated that there is no way to carry out awareness campaigns and, given this chaotic scenario, he is even considering resigning. "It's almost criminal how they've let the agency fall into disrepair," he lamented.
