[edit] Population of Cancun
What is the source for the 1 million population of Cancun? This seems to have been added by the person who added the misinformation that statehood was granted after Cancun's development. -- Infrogmation 18:51, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)

- During the 1990s, Quintana Roo was governed by Mario E. Villanueva Madrid. His administration was alleged to be so corrupt it developed relations with drug traffickers in Colombia[citation needed]. By 1998 the state had become the first "Narco-Political Subdivision" in Mexico[citation needed]. Villanueva was such a problem for Mexican-American relations that the Mexican Government of Ernesto Zedillo began seeking indictments against Villanueva once the governor left office in 1999[citation needed]. Villanueva fled the country but was finally arrested and returned to Mexican soil to face justice in 2001. Since that time Quintana Roo has recovered and has become an ever more popular tourist destination[citation needed].
That paragraph is not well written. The last line in particular gives the impression that before 1998, Cancun and the resort cities in the state weren't popular, which just isn't true. The last line should probably be re-written or deleted. 11:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.109.32.71 (talk)
