#4 he's [Adams] made it clear that he's willing to pay big money for someone who can get rid of the city's rats.

Don't vote for them, impeach them or jail them.

The missus has some badass feral cats she has rescued that she would rent out on a short-term basis just as long as the job doesn't require taking up residence in NYC.

I think they just want the Powerpoint with snarky commentary to validate a budget point. The 1 hour 'Rat Pack' seminar would be famous for sneaking in flasks full of Domain Leroy. Invitation only.
