Z Beat Goes On

Hola
Correct me if I am mistaken, but isn't there already some sort of regulation for these wandering beach vendors? I see them being checked by "regulators" walking the beaches and being asked to produce some sort of papers.

The only "regulation" is to pay off the folks working for the "Reglamentos" office of our municipal administration. If they get caught without their "permit" the "regulator" will confiscate all their goods, further enriching themselves at the expense of poor hardworking people. While there is indeed a general desire to help our impoverished people, Zihuatanejo simply can't help every poor person who decides to come here. Hundreds of wandering vendors on our streets and beaches hurts everyone. Of course the politicians only see them as voters, and the bureaucrats see them as a source of income. So perception is everything.
