Little boy: the bus company won't be in charge here.
The former governor promised not to persecute workers in alternative transportation and also denounced a campaign financing scheme involving bus companies; "Today there's a slush fund at Fetranspor to finance campaigns for state and federal deputies and governors. I don't want their money and I will govern for the people," he stated.
Rio 247 - In a meeting with representatives of alternative transportation, on Saturday the 9th, in Nilópolis (RJ), candidate Anthony Garotinho, from the PR party, guaranteed that, if he wins the elections, there will be no persecution of van drivers by Detro (Rio de Janeiro's Department of Road Transport). Garotinho also stated that bus company owners will no longer have control over the state government.
"The bus owners, who control everything in this PMDB government and who imposed the revocation of alternative transport routes, will not control the Garotinho government. Today there is a slush fund at Fetranspor to finance campaigns for state and federal deputies and governor. I don't want their money and I will govern for the people," said the federal deputy. Garotinho also reaffirmed his commitment to reducing the IPVA tax rate from 4% to 2% for all vehicles registered in Rio.
"Cabral only gave incentives to bus company owners, reducing the IPVA (Vehicle Property Tax) by half. But in my government, this mafia will end. I will reduce the IPVA for everyone. As my campaign slogan says: 'To be truly good, it has to be for everyone.' So, in the Garotinho government, we will give a 50% discount on the IPVA for everyone."
"For the owner of a modest car, for the worker who uses his car to sell his hot dogs, for everyone," he promised. Garotinho explained how the inspection schedule will work in his future government: "In even years, inspections will be done for cars with license plates ending in an even number. In odd years, the same for cars with license plates ending in an odd number."
