New York city has named its first-ever “rat czar”, reported UPI. New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled former school teacher Kathleen Corradi as the city’s first director of rodent mitigation, or “rat czar” yesterday. “Kathy has the knowledge, drive, experience and energy to send rats packing and create a cleaner more welcoming city for all New Yorkers,” said Adams.
