Check out the note in full:

“In recent days, bad faith news has been published about the expenses of my mandate with the Quota for the Exercise of Parliamentary Activity (Ceap) during the current year 2023. The articles address, exclusively and in a biased manner, the costs of my office with Ceap, not to mention the expenses of other councilors at the Manaus City Council. For clarification purposes, I emphasize that all my expenses with Ceap are regulated in accordance with Laws 437/2016 and 505/2021, and are available for public consultation via the Transparency Portal. Among the 41 CMM parliamentarians, I am among those who made the least use of the available resource, occupying 29th position in the ranking of the sum of expenditure in 2023. Therefore, I regret that such news is the subject of political attack against me. I leave this as a warning to the population of Manaus to make discernment and carefully evaluate the information that circulates on social media, especially in a period marked by the proximity of the 2024 elections. I remain open-doored and committed to carrying out work guided by truth and transparency and responsibility. Sincerely, Thaysa Lippy.”
