Maybe it's too much to ask and a long shot,but how about passing a bill that would enforce 10% from any new project's budget(specifically new malls and luxury condominium towers),10% to build quality public schools,and the other 2% annually for schools supplies(computers,pupitres,wi fi,etc.)and 2% annually from the numerous mall's annual profit to maintain school infrastructure and sponsor extracurricular activities.I'm not saying this is the solution,but it can be a start rather than doing nothing about.This bill would apply to foreign investors as much as national investors,this way,whether it's drug money or not,at least the not so well off can benefit.Just a thought.....:disappoin It just might be easier to expect the DR government to fork over the much expected 4%

Imagine how many more projects would go belly up if they all had to kick in an additional 10% for construction and 4% annually. Even as a bleeding-heart leftwing liberal Democrat, I couldn't impose these taxes.

Are you nuts. Would you build a business having to pay 10% of your budget to the education system, then pay all the taxes required to the government on top of that.

The issue of getting the $ is not the main problem, getting it to the right program without the normal detours is the problem
