Today is June 18, three months exactly since the Mayor signed the bed bug advisory board bill. (At least one generation.)
There have been no appointments.
At this point I’m no longer wondering at the delay but rather well into the strange realization that perhaps there will be no appointments.
New York vs Bed Bugs was created with a singular purpose. We focused on appealing to the city government. What extraordinary and desperate inexperience.
This is the bottom line: the City of New York does not currently have a bed bug control strategy and appears to have no intention of formulating one. In some sloppy corners of the media, New York City is said to already have a bed bug task force, never mind the distinction between a task force and an advisory board. Maybe that is all that was intended, to create the impression that something is being done, that attention is being paid. And then let it drop.
This week I have been on the verge of asking you to write letters. Again! What a horrible waste.
And yet, would you?
