Mayor Eric Adams said Thursday he has picked a handsomely paid “rat czar” out of thousands of applicants — but wouldn’t say who “she” is. The up-to-$170,000 position will go to a person who passionately “hates rats” and wants to wipe them out as the city’s rodent population soars, Adams said at a press conference in the Bronx.
“We put out a call for a rat czar and we got thousands of responders. We dwindled it down to one person that we’re getting ready to announce. The first thing I asked her was, ‘How do you feel about rats?’” Adams said.
“She was very clear. She said, ‘Listen we got to get those rats under control and their population.’ So I look forward to it,” he said. “Rodents should not be in our homes, should not be running across our yards, should not be biting our children,” Adams added. “It’s a sanitary problem, a health problem, it is also traumatizing.”

The Pied Piper was the most qualified candidate but didn’t check enough DEI boxes.
Thus, the Pied Pipette.

$170K salary?? Rat trappers across the world are looking on with extreme envy.
I know I should not have wasted time going to school. I should have just specialized in rat control and I could have got a high six figure salary in one of our cities.

Rats are like the homeless and welfare people. Free place to live, free abundant food and they multiply and get bolder.

The only rats that pose a clear and present danger to Gotham are two legged.

In New York City, we have a rodent infestation problem. We recently heard of a big fat one called Bragg. People all over middle America were surprised at how big and fat rats grow in NYC.

Does it require rat czar experience or just that you need to know it doesn’t look like a dog?
