No, the county bought the pre-frozen mice from a supplier so the county had clean hands (until the mouse was exploded in a microwave). Strange county, to say the least.

The county also had a "rain tax". This was an annual fee based upon the square footage of your roofs, sidewalks, or other impervious surfaces that rain might get contaminated from as it began it's way to the Chesapeake Bay.
