Around 100 demonstrators were present on the prison grounds protesting capital punishment and Williams’ execution, Pojmann said. Williams’ team filed a clemency petition to the US Supreme Court last week, noting Missouri’s previous governor had postponed Williams’ execution indefinitely amid questions about the integrity of Williams’ trial. Eric Greitens previously halted Williams’ execution and formed a board to investigate his case and determine whether he should be granted clemency. “The Board investigated Williams’ case for the next six years — until Governor Michael Parson abruptly terminated the process,” Williams’ attorneys wrote. “The Governor’s actions have violated Williams’ constitutional rights and created an exceptionally urgent need for the Court’s attention,” Williams’ attorneys said in court documents.

In reality, the Rat Pack offers regular citizens a crash course in rodent mitigation in hopes of inspiring them to take more active roles in what often feels like an unwinnable battle. AdvertisementThose who join the Rat Pack must complete three activities: a "rat walk" that promises to "uncover the world of urban rats," a two-hour "rat academy" on rodent-prevention methods, and a service project, like a park cleanup. If you seek to understand this rat, Corradi told our group, "you can kind of just hold up a mirror and look at yourself."

And yet I secured my precious Rat Pack merch by doing exactly that.

NYC's rat czar is waging war on the city's vermin. AdvertisementIf New York City wants to kick its rats to the curb, it may need to change a time-honored tradition: feeding the pigeons. In a profile by New York Magazine, the city's so-called "rat czar," Kathleen Corradi, detailed how the city has been fighting its rat problem. Leftover crumbs end up becoming impromptu meals for nearby rats, Corradi told New York Magazine. "We're a big part of the problem when it comes to sustaining rat populations in the city," Corradi told the magazine.

☆ New York has tried poison, traps, and birth control to fix its pest problem. Rat researchers say the city should focus on its people instead.

New York City has a pest problem so prolific, the mayor hired a dedicated rat czar earlier this year. Previous efforts to reduce the rat problem include brutal traps, poison, and birth control bait. The city has historically focused on population control methods, including brutal spring traps and hazardous poisons to keep the pests at bay.

To really have fewer rats, New York norms of takeout and eating outside would have to change."

☆ New York's 'rat czar' will only succeed if she realizes that rats are not the 'enemy,' an expert says

The former schoolteacher, who's become New York's "rat czar," may face an uphill battle to succeed. An urban-rat expert said Kathleen Corradi must realize rats are not the "enemy." "The 'real city rats' are the men and women of bureaucracy," Michael Parsons told Insider. The 'real rats' of New York CityCorradi's task comes after residents reported almost 3.2 million rat sightings last year to the city's 311 service-request line. Parsons said that the rat czar may face an uphill battle not because of the rodents, "but instead due to the 'real city rats' — the men and women of bureaucracy and their two-and-a-half centuries of bad practice."
☆ U.S. judge rules Missouri state gun law is unconstitutional

WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge ruled that a Missouri state law aimed at invalidating many federal gun regulations was unconstitutional, handing the U.S. Justice Department a victory on Tuesday in its bid to get the law tossed out. "SAPA’s practical effects are counterintuitive to its stated purpose," Wimes wrote. Spokespeople for Missouri Governor Michael Parson did not have an immediate comment on the ruling. The Justice Department has previously said that HB85, which was signed into law in June 2021, has harmed partnerships between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and state and local law enforcement. A Justice Department spokesperson did not have any immediate comment on the judge's ruling.

Rats are taking refuge in cars, chewing through wires and leaving owners with big repair bills. There are three things you can do to help prevent rats from living under the hood of your car. Do not park above or near storm drain basins or openings to sewers – Norway rats are called sewer rats for a reason. One woman told The Times that a rat chewed through a sensor wire in her car, which cost $700 to fix. "What they're doing is inadvertently attracting rats or other rodents onto the property," he said.
