I think every citizen should vote on whether this is a good use of money. Also, What if we can find high school kids to do it cheaper?

$500k to save crop destruction and damage in the millions is a pretty solid return on your money. (Not to mention the disease and overall disgusting nature!)

I'm sure you will find a majority vote of getting rid of the rat.
