		<description>[...] Following up on its previous editorial that  mocked and criticized Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden, the New York Post, in a new editorial entitled  “Frieden’s Follies”, argues that the health department is shutting down restaurants “left and right” (though it just mentions John’s Pizzeria in the Village) as reaction to the endlessly repeated video of rats at the Village Taco Bell, which were discovered right after that restaurant got the O.K. from one of the department’s inspectors. “Fact is, there isn&#8217;t a restaurant in New York City - hell, in the world - that could stand up to a rule-book inspection conducted by someone with an embarrassed and angry boss.” Compiled by Jonathan Mandell [...]</description>

		<description>New York needs the Pied Piper.  We are a registered vendor and have written and called the mayor, Rick Simeone (pest control director), Mr. Robert Corrigan, Dr. Frieden
numerous time, sent overnight many pieces of information about our product with no response.  Mr. Simeone did recently tell us that NY does not have the $ in the budget  and that EPA was taking care of the rodent problem!!! 2 healthy rats reproduce more than 3.5 million rats in three years.  Can New York City (or any other city) afford not to budget this effort for the safety of their citizens, especially little children and the elderly being victims of this pestilence?</description>
