To tackle the growing population of rodents in New York City (NYC), the administration has appointed its first-ever "rat czar" with an annual salary of $155,000. Mayor Eric Adams named former schoolteacher Kathleen Corradi as the city's first director of rodent mitigation. Per CNN, an urban legend says NYC is home to more than eight million rats, which pose a serious public health issue.
