PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A staffer for
Rhode Island's
governor gets paid to be calm in a crisis, at least until a rat
crosses her
path.
An exterminator planned to inspect
the
Statehouse on Monday after several employees reported seeing
rodents last week. Among them was Sue Stenhouse, the governor's
director of community
relations and emergency preparedness.
She says a large rat ran across her office floor Thursday night. She says she jumped on her chair, shot rubber bands at it and threatened it with perfume until it left.
Another rodent was spotted that day outside the office of Senate President M. Teresa Paiva-Weed.
