Letter of Protest

Bosques de Montemar 700

Con-Con

Brasil 735

Town hall

Valparaiso

Dear Mrs. Zapata,

I am writing to protest against the new toll that the people have to pay to enter to this city because in all history of Valparaiso, never the people had to pay to enter to this city.

I am particulary concerned about a lot of people that live in Valparaiso and work in Viña del Mar or Con-Con have to pay a new toll of 500 hundred pesos. They will lose earns. I imagine a maid that earns $220.000 in a month, with this new toll of $500 if she works 20 days  the money  that she had to pay is $10.000 and her earns in a month with the toll are $210.000 and in the year with the toll she earns $2.520.000 but in a year with out the toll she earns $2.640.000 in conclusion with the toll she lost $120.000.   

In addition, the tourists come to visit to 5th region, will prefer other cities like Quintero, Limache, Quillota and Reñaca. I think this toll will affect  the tourism because the other cities are free of toll and they will preffer the other cities.

It is for these reasons that I think the toll should not be aproved because it affects the people that live in Valparaiso abd the tourism of this city.

I look forward to your reply,

Best regards

Ignacio Herrera
