If an agency is to take on additional duties and scope beyond what they are doing now, this will require more staff, training, office space, etc. This would require more money, which in most state budgets would only come when the public asks for it, loudly. - v.

Sometimes I almost want the problem to spread, so everyone will know what's really going on... I work in an office of 60 people here in NYC and I know at least 3 of us have had this problem within the past year... So it's getting there.

Apparently someone kept his number from way uptown on 178th Street in NYC. She told him that her building is infested with bed bugs...and that there was a large ASIAN population there who were immigrants and who could not understand what to do to keep the bugs away or to eradicate. She has a baby who is getting bitten. Its' horrible !!!! My contractor told her to call 311 and report it.... I hope she does...whoever she is.... if it's YOU....and you are reading this... please call 311.

Willow,

I meant no offense to any Asians, We have a few non-chinese South East Asians A few Japanese but Mostly Chinese and Korean people in the 50% Asian community living in our building. Hardly any of these residents speak english--But they all like me BTW and visa versa. Thanks for correcting me--Persians are rugs too? :) ASAINS vs ORIENTALS I appologize for usining the adjective as the proper nown. the Encarta Dictionary does mention this as an (old) word usage that can be highly offesnive if used as a noun.

I was reading about him before he got a name.
