To combat the problem of rodents a Chicago alderman proposed a solution to the city's rat problem. It's a measure that has me questioning "Are they serious?"

It's not really the kind of accolade a major metropolitan area looks to receive. Nonetheless, Orkin pest control says, based on the number of rat eradication calls they receive from select cities nationwide, Chicago is the king of rat-infested cities in America...
