Forked River, N.J.: When most of us with common sense heard about the plans the mayor of New York City came up with to deal with rats, New Yorkers all did a collective facepalm. While the mayor is solving NYC’s problems from his seat at the World Cup or in the sunshine of Greece, anyone who lives or works in New York already knows that garbage is the problem. Unless you deal with the garbage problem, there will always be rats and roaches no matter how many suitcases of cash you give the new “rat czar.”
