I think Nuria should take aim wherever she can, and this is no small fish mind you, as there are very few gov't. ministers in this country

What I'm talking about is 800 million in the case of one house(Mr PRD) , and 10-40 million in the case of this minister. I have been in several public schools and have no doubt about what you say, however my observation has been chairs and tables, and desks. If the government was putting the amount of money required by law into the school system it would still take 20 years to catch up, or even come close to where they should be. I'm fully in agreement with you that Nuria should go after corruption where ever she finds it, I just think in this case she hasn't proved it exists. As far as not accepting criticism; this is a national issue, perhaps cultural. Dominicans can't accept criticism. You might as well slap them in the face. For those Dominicans that will take offense at this, truth does sometime hurt.
