Untitled

This article is extremely POV and ought to be rewritten. "In a trend that will continue for the next years, the right winged and elite administrated PSDB had a strong representation in the rich areas of the city, as Marta, the best mayor the city ever had, was not chosen by the elites at all." Regardless of this being true or not, it demonstrates an extremely biased perspective. Here is a better source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2264161.stm I will try to rewrite this when I have more time later in the week. --68.82.189.218 17:36, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

NPOV/FHC

I removed references to FHC and his government. It was somewhat antagonistic, and this is more suitable for FHC's own page, being immaterial to Serra. --Dali-Llama 20:48, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV/Prestes Maia

I reverted the edit by BenUK. This is a very biased paragraph, and is nearly half the length of the article on Prestes Maia. We can make it shorter and more concise, introducing the issue and perhaps then linking it to the Prestes Maia article. --Dali-Llama 11:00, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the following: "Since taking office, his gentrification policy has made many hundreds of low-income families homeless." You'd need a source for this. I know he has a plan to "re-vitalize" downtown, but this is a serious charge. I also removed the following: "Controversially, Serra has decided to spend public funds to mount a massive police operation to evict over 1,600 people living there." Serra does not create legislation, and in this case, he does not enforce it. He does not control the police. In Brazil, police is a responsibility of the state government, not the municipal. Take a look at any picture of the eviction and you'll see gray uniforms--state police, with a state court mandate. The issue here is that the property tax owed by the owners is owed to the city. The owner wants R$14 million, when the back taxes only amount to R$6 million. Serra won't buy the building to give it to the squatters--he'd rather spend the money somewhere else. In fact, the eviction has just been delayed, so this is definitely not the last we've heard of this.
