WDT: DA -Elect Loses Bid to Stiff Bat Man

     Despite being the district attorney-elect, Mary Rain found a Hammond judge unimpressed as he ruled against her in a civil suit and ordered her to pay up for bat removal services from an exterminator. The man had been hired to remove bats from a Watertown property and convinced the court he had done the work based on a verbal agreement.
     What's interesting is that the suit was filed by Al's Critter Solution's owner Albert LaFrance on July 2 in Ogdensburg City Court and more than one judge scampered away from handling the case before it was assigned to the Hammond court.
       The proceedings were reported on in the WDT but apparently never became an issue to my recollection in the heated campaign Ms. Rain had with current DA Nicole Duve.
        A competent opposition campaign could have had some fun with an opponent being sued by Batman.
