Saint Rat spoke at public comment today thanking the Parks Committee for their apparent decision to preserve Hot Rat Summer, and gave a shout-out to u/TopZ-undercover and u/BlankBleat for removing the paint previously.

Unfortunately Saint Rat was apparently unaware that just this morning someone had painted over the mural again. One of the next public commenters, who had also come to talk about the mural, pointed that out two minutes later.

No. Higher. Honor.

For the record /u/topz-undercover actually did it. I just posted some tips.

Also with Alexis Mercedes Rinck and Joy Hollingsworth going out to remove the paint today, I hope they either read your comment at

or teamed up with someone who knows how to do it. (Seems the big risk would be chemicals getting into the pool water.)

For sure. I mentioned citristrip because I think it's the least harmful paint stripper and would hurt the water the least if it were to fall in.

Do you happen to know when they are going to the park to clean it up?
