NYC's rat-hating mayor, Eric Adams, is once again ticketed for rats at his Brooklyn property
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s rat-hating mayor has once again been ticketed for a rat infestation at his Brooklyn property.

He can contest the ticket July 7 before an Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings officer.

The group — funded with millions of dollars from the city and cash from George Soros’s foundation — hands out free needles, crack pipes and even devices to “cook” heroin, every Wednesday at the top of the entrance to the Clinton–Washington Avenue subway station on the C line. “They’re shooting up,” Stephanie Cole, who lives...
