Inside sources says Kathleen Corradi has just wrapped up a handshake-deal with The Water Bandits with the intended goal of flushing out all of the RATs over the next 24 hours.  Residents are hopeful, but do think The Water Bandits are a tad out of their depth and may require some assistance from the local populace. When asked about their strategy, The Water Bandits angrily said "No Comment" and waved off the question.  Kathleen stepped in awkwardly and said "Well well well, I certainly look forward to ending the RATs rain of terror.  They have been a fixture of our city since the yesteryears but once they are eraticated, they will surely not be mist."

Emma McOtter, leader of the Aquatic Furry Mammals Club says that she abhors the targeting of these cute little strong swimmers and plan to take this barbaric matter and the murderous Water Bandits all the way up to the Supreme Quart.

We look forward to seeing the results of this taskforce and its very pacific goals of targeting these nasty little critters.
