About: ensure timely payroll payments and transfers to municipalities

Romeu Zema: Well, Guilherme... I am handing over to Vice-Governor Matheus Simões, within 40 days, a State much better than the one I received from Pimentel PT (Workers' Party) seven years and two months ago.

Romeu Zema: I should recall that the accounts were completely overdue, public employees didn't know when or if they would receive their 13th salary.

Mayors weren't receiving transfers for ICMS or IPVA, nor for Education or Health; there was a huge graveyard of abandoned, vandalized public works, and that's in the past now.
