New York Cities' 'Rat Czar' Rakes In Exorbitant Salary Amid Wasteful Spending
EDITOR'S NOTE: In an astonishing example of government waste, New York City's newly appointed "Rat Czar," or Director of Rodent Migration, is set to receive a staggering $155,000 annual salary. This outrageous misuse of tax dollars emphasizes the growing concern over the misallocation of public funds and the need for greater scrutiny of government spending.
The "Rat Czar" position, created to address the city's rodent issue, has been met with skepticism and criticism, as it is unclear whether the exorbitant salary is justified for such a role. Meanwhile, the city's taxpayers are left footing the bill for a position that may not yield tangible results in mitigating the rodent problem.
This case exemplifies the abuse and misuse of tax dollars, highlighting the urgent need for increased transparency and accountability in government spending. In a time when public resources are stretched thin, it is essential for taxpayers to remain vigilant and demand responsible use of their hard-earned money. The allocation of funds to address real issues should take precedence over frivolous positions with bloated salaries, which only serve to perpetuate the wasteful spending cycle.
New York City has found another novel way to dole out the increasing levy it places on its citizens via out-of-control taxation: a new city employee earning $155,000 a year to focus on ridding the city of rats.
That's right rats - as of this week, New York City officially has a "Rat Czar" on its payroll. The employee, Kathleen Corradi, was introduced by New York Mayor Eric Adams this week. Her title is officially "director of rodent migration", according to a Bloomberg writeup published this week.
And Corradi's resume has rats on it too: she was formerly the Department of Education's rat reduction specialist, the report says.
Mayor Adams had announced earlier this year that he was looking for a fighter in the city's "war against rats" and was willing to pay between $120,000 and $170,000 for someone to do say.

“I think, fighting rats, that’s not enough," Adams said about her salary.
“When I first saw this job posting, I wasn’t sure it was real,” Corradi said. But Adams knew it was meant to be, stating: "That's almost a job made for her".
Corradi has said she will look for the "most effective technique" to mitigate the rat problem. The city is already putting into place a plan to keep garbage from sitting on the street for long hours. It is also enforcing cleanliness violations at an 80% higher rate than last year.
Corradi concluded: “The mayor has made it very clear his stance on rats. He hates rats, I hate rats, all New Yorkers hate rats.”
And now, how soon before taxpayers are funding universal basic income for the rats as a way to "solve" the issue? And how long until we count on climate change getting the blame?
