But there’s an organization at the Department of Health that’s fighting the good fight. And there’s a man at the top of that organization – Andre Pitman. Sometimes he’s known as D.C.’s rat czar. Andre is here today to go over how the District is cutting down on rodent populations, and what you – yes you! – can do to help. Want some more DC news?
