rats/

Rats are running rampant outside — and inside — Los Angeles City Hall, and
city officials are racing to get the infestation under control amid a
“terrifying” typhus outbreak.

The rodents have turned up dead in the building’s ceiling and scurrying
around City Council President Herb Wesson’s office, according to the Los
Angeles Times. Outside, a rat was recently spotted gnawing through a
pumpkin put out for decoration at the building’s Halloween party.

And in November, city attorney Elizabeth Greenwood contracted typhus while
working in the downtown office, CBS Los Angeles reported.

“It was terrifying,” Greenwood told the station Wednesday. “I thought I
was going to die and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me.”

She has yet to return to work for fear of the conditions in the building.

In October, officials declared a typhus outbreak in downtown LA. The
disease spreads when fleas bite rats and become infected with a particular
type of bacteria. Humans can contract the illness through flea bites or
the feces of the infected insects, when it’s rubbed into cuts or scrapes
in the skin, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.

Wesson told the LA Times that the outbreak needs to stop — and submitted a
motion Wednesday asking the city to report back on the “scope of vermin
and pest control issues” at City Hall and adjoining city buildings.

“Employees shouldn’t have to come to work worried about rodents,” Wesson
said he told the outlet, adding that he “intend(s) to do whatever it is we
need” to eliminate the problem.

That could include ripping out all the building’s carpets — for which
Wesson is seeking a cost estimate. His motion also calls for a tally of
live plants in every city-owned or -operated building downtown.

He’s also pushing for a policy requiring employees to secure their food
after hours and for custodians to toss out food that’s left out.

Greenwood applauded the move.

“That carpet is years old — and, more than likely, it has fleas and flea
eggs in it,” she told the Times. “I would really like to see the building
fumigated for both rats and fleas. … I hope they don’t wait.”

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
