Rats!

In the latest round of budget cuts, the New York City Health Department is slashing the number of pest control aides by nearly 70 percent.

The number of full-time workers who clean up trash on properties where rodents have been reported will drop from 84 to 27.

“It’s going to affect quality of life directly, giving more harbor to rodents, lowering property values,” Fritz Reid, head of the union that represents the workers, told amNewYork. “These people are cleaning up our neighborhoods.”

The city predicts the cuts will save $1.5 million next fiscal year, which begins July 1.

NY Enterprise Report is more than an event, magazine or information source. It strives to tie together the interests of forward-moving business owners and creates a real sense of community. For this reason the connections made through NY Report and the events have proved to be invaluable in expanding my network of CEOs and building my CEO groups. – Phil Liebman, Vistage / Strat4: Strategies for Growing Companies
