We know it’s not easy to get your council member’s attention

in Bed Bug Task Force, New York vs Bed Bugs

We know because we don’t just ask you to do stuff we wouldn’t do ourselves.   I’m trying to interest my own council member in bed bugs, the idea of a bed bug task force and, specifically, Intro 873.   It’s… going.

Two things that help:

  • it’s really good to call—if you have a spare ten minutes, it really is best to call and follow-up in writing; and
  • that New York Times editorial? Look at it! It’s practically begging to be put to work. Use it.
