Rat smell lingers in Arkansas governor's mansion
LITTLE ROCK—Arkansas' first lady says the interior of the governor's private office at the governor's mansion will have to be demolished to deal with the lingering smell of rats.
First lady Susan Hutchinson informed the Arkansas Governor's Mansion Commission on Wednesday that the smell remains even though a rat infestation was removed and new insulation was installed.
"You can walk in there today and still smell the rat stench. It looks fine, but it's hideous smelling," Hutchinson said. "It just permeated anything that would absorb air."
The first lady also told the panel that she wants to make the mansion more accessible to visitors. Governor's Mansion Association president Jan Zimmerman said she planned to expand the annual First Lady's Tea.
