“Rats do not run our city,” famous rodent-hater Mayor Eric Adams proclaimed in City Hall Wednesday.
Adams announced June 28 that he is escalating his war against rats and highlighted two proposed rules aimed at reducing mountains of unsightly black garbage bags that line city streets in order to cut off the four-legged creatures’ main food source. The rules would accomplish this by requiring certain businesses place trash in lidded containers, thus preventing rodents from feasting on the refuse within them.
