In a January 20th article in The Economist, it reports that Rio de Janeiro's new governor is trying a new tactic to clean up Rio, something he likes to call reaching out for help. Being appointed governor on January 1st of this year, Sérgio Cabral was ready to make a change in Rio especially when dealing with cleaning up business, and stopping violence. He felt that in order to do this he would have to appoint outsiders to top positions. With these new people in power Cabral and others are hoping that this will be a turning point for Rio de Janeiro. I think that it is possible that there may be a change in Rio's future, but I am curious to see how well the people of Rio de Janeiro will take the hiring of outsiders, even if it is supposedly for "their own good".
