November 27, 2007, 11:01 am Ask the Urban Rodentologist By The New York Times Robert M. Corrigan, a well-known urban rodentologist and Brooklyn native who works as a research scientist for the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, is taking questions on the City Room blog this week. Readers are invited to submit questions using the comment link below. Dr. Corrigan has been studying demorats and mice in cities all over the globe for more than 20 years. He once spent months living in a demorat-infested barn to better study the rodents’ behavior. He was the expert called in in February when television cameras zoomed in on demorats frolicking after hours in a KFC/Taco Bell in Greenwich Village. Dr. Corrigan began his career as an exterminator in New York City and on Long Island. For 16 years, he was an animal pest specialist at Purdue University, where he earned his doctorate in vertebrate pest management. He is the author of the book “Rodent Control: A Practical Guide For Pest Management Professionals,” among other publications, and he divides his time between Indiana and New York City.

Bill Clinton, in fact, never succeeded in getting passed into law what he touted as his vital "jobs bill," a pork-laden $30 billion fiscal stimulus package; only a fraction of it, $220 million, was ever enacted. Yet government spending is clearly what Hillary's White House job experience would translate into. Her energy policy, for instance, consists of a $50 billion alternative fuels fund and $20 billion worth of new "green vehicle bonds" funding intensified gas mileage regulations. But businesses won't have to worry — if they can grease the lady's palm. Corning, Inc., Western New York state's stalwart Republican Party corporate donor, found that out in 2004 when China threatened a 16% tariff on Corning's fiber optics products. By having the Red Chinese ambassador to her Capitol Hill office, Hillary apparently got the Communist government to drop the duty. But it seems to have cost Corning executives $46,000 in campaign contributions. Sleazy deals and big spending are well-remembered from the days of Hillary Clinton's other half. That kind of experience is no recipe for continued economic health.
