Build A Better Mouse Trap

The NYC Department of Ed is promising to slash the number of rodent violations in city schools by 25%. This after NY Post report showing that 360 city lunchrooms were rife with rodents, and 111 were so filthy that they flunked health inspections.

The next time a politician tells you he or she is a proud supporter of public education, ask them if they are proud of the rodents that come with it in this city too.
