Minority Report

The Martin Chronicles believes Villa Hills' residents should be very happy with their current City Administration. Things are publicly quiet, collegial and efficient-at least for now. A new mayor and council majority seem determined to put behind the mayhem and mismanagement left behind by the last mayor as quickly as possible.

How bad was it? Well, Villa Hills gained national notoriety for being one of the finest communities in The United States in 2014. Despite that prestigious recognition, Villa Hills' voters tossed their previous maniacal mayor out on his disgraceful ass. How bad was that lunatic loser's unprecedented defeat? The little liar received just 18% of the vote in his ridiculous bid for undeserved re-election.

Let's put the now-deposed little fella's humiliating defeat in perspective. Villa Hills previous mayor received only 18% of the vote-despite spending taxpayer money on his crooked re-election campaign. By any measure, that is an historical-and hysterical-rout. Especially if you consider the fact that 31% of another American city's voters expressed willingness to have their municipal government spend their taxpayer money on a flying saucer landing site in their hometown! Boy Howdy!

But, we continue to dig in to ongoing stories following the four years of horrific destruction left by the embarrassingly-disgraced, previous joke of a mayor and his corrupt City Administration. Why? Because the previous corrupt and incompetent mayor of Villa Hills' left his little town in a real lurch. "Moving the City Forward"? What a dishonest joke!

So, we have learned that one of the previous mayor's staunchest supporters-the vile, ancient crocodile Mary Koenig-is definitely not enjoying life in 2015. Why? Because for one of the few times in her nasty political career, Koenig finds herself in the distinct minority.

You see, Koenig finds herself having the twisted support she needs from just one, vastly over-rated rookie. Koenig no longer has the necessary support to misuse City Government to carry out her calumnious campaign of retribution. Koenig can't misuse City Government to get anyone fired. Koenig can't misuse City Government to ruin anyone's life. Koenig can't misuse City Government to ruin anyone's reputation. Clearly, Koenig is very frustrated.

Fellow haters shouldn't worry though. Koenig is the master of biding time. Sooner or later, Koenig will launch her counter-attacks. But remember, Koenig doesn't have the courage to do it herself.

Watch for it. We are sure to see useful idiots doing Koenig's dirty work as we approach the 2016 election in Villa Hills. Look for various and sundry nimrods to waddle to the podium at council meetings to present the suicidal script Koenig has prepared for them. Koenig will try revive her insane claims of some mysterious "good old boys network" to convince voters to put her back in some malicious majority.

Isn't this fun?

SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT: Will The "Civic Club" Survive?

The Martin Chronicles has been highly critical of the ass clowns who have dominated the Villa Hills "Civic Club" for some time now. We are not the least bit ashamed of being so critical. These asinine ass hats bear a great deal of guilt for foisting the fraud who was the previous mayor of Villa Hills on the residents of Villa Hills.

It is also no secret that membership in the Villa Hills "Civic Club" is tanking. We are hearing that a large percentage of the residents of Villa Hills have come to believe that the "Civic Club" is overly-populated by a group of mouth-breathers who have transformed the former focal point of their town in to a very unfriendly, highly politicized hangout.

Many residents who have joined the "Civic Club" over the past couple of years report that their visits to the lodge haven't been good. They tell tales of facing hostility when they walk through the front door. As one put it, "The drunken nitwits surrounding the bar stared at me with a "what the hell are YOU doing here" look when they walked through that front door.

The Martin Chronicles vast readership may be surprised. But, we think the "Civic Club" must be saved from the fate that has befallen so many other neighborhood civic clubs. After all, Villa Hills wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for the efforts of former-far wiser-leaders of their "Civic Club". In other words, the ass hats who currently dominate the club haven't always been there.

Just think about it. The "Civic Club" has a serviceable lodge for all manor of events. The "Civic Club" has a beautiful-if currently misnamed-fishing lake. And, the "Civic Club" has several acres devoted to the athletic endeavors of local youth. Do the residents of Villa Hills REALLY want to see all that turned over to a developer to build yet another subdivision? We hope not.

The Martin Chronicles urges Villa Hills' residents to join the current "Civic Club". And then, get involved to change it in to a real, welcoming CIVIC CLUB. YOU can make a real difference. Just like you did when you tossed the corrupt fraud who sat in the mayor's office- only because of all of his LIES-out on his pathetically corrupt, sorry ass on November 4, 2014.

YOU can make a real difference. YOU can affect real change. YOU can be a part of sweeping away the ass clowns who have been foolishly destroying this real gem in the heart of Villa Hills.

It is truly up to YOU.

WEEKENDER: Wacko, Fringe Candidates


The Martin Chronicles loves local politics. While municipal government has the most impact on the day-to-day lives of most people in the United States, too many American voters seem far too lazy doing their homework before electing wacko, fringe candidates to wreak havoc in their towns. Far too often, they elect wingnuts, or simply take a foolish "pass" on the process.

The beautiful little burg of Cold Springs, Kentucky brings us yet another example of the aftermath of this indefensible apathy. Cold Springs' voters elected a new mayor on November 4, 2014 who -well, we don't know how else to put it-looked just like your best friend's grandmother.

Well, shortly after the new Cold Springs' mayor took the reins of power, it was "go granny, go granny, go granny go!" This "nice" little grandma quickly fired the Police Chief, City Administrator and City Attorney. Why? Who the hell knows?

Oh, it gets better. Granny hired a new City Attorney who quickly sized up the situation and decided to "exit, stage left". So, before serving a full four months in office, Granny must have realized that she was in way too over her head and pulled the plug on herself and resigned, leaving the Cold Springs City Government in absolute shambles.

It gets even better than that. Left in a terrible lurch, the Cold Springs council decided to bring back their previous veteran mayor in an attempt to right Granny's sinking ship. Believe it or not, there were some residents who actually had a problem with the council's decision to return the prior mayor.

One allegedly intelligent person-who's a doctor, for Pete's sake!-told the media that he would have preferred a "fresh face". Seriously? Didn't the most recent "fresh face" screw things up enough for this doofus doctor? Idiot.

Then there is the proud City of Erlanger, Kentucky. The residents of Erlanger also decided it was time to elect a "fresh face" to run their town (in to the ground) by putting Tyler Herpes in to the Mayor's Office. Oh, that's gonna leave a mark.



Herpes immediately decided it was a great idea to fire the long-serving City Attorney. Yep, that was a great idea. Why? Because the taxpayers of Erlanger are now paying the billable hours of TWO City Attorneys. Way to go, Mayor Herpes!

Other Northern Kentucky Cities have caught the "voter virus" over the past few decades. Ludlow, Park Hills, Bromley and Crescent Springs are just a few other examples of towns who created their own serious problems resulting from voter apathy.

But, one Northern Kentucky municipality can still easily claim the crown for electing wacko, fringe candidates to mismanage their burg into costly difficulty. That would be the highly regarded town of Villa Hills.

The allegedly intelligent voters of Villa Hills have somehow managed to elect two lunatic mayors in the span of a dozen years who have mismanaged to pour heaps of-very costly-embarrassment over their apathetic constituents. And, The Martin Chronicles thanks the Almighty Spirit for Villa Hills voters' abject apathy. It's kept us very busy.

The most recent former mayor of Villa Hills is clearly the cake-taker of corrupt clowns representing wacko, fringe candidates who took avaricious advantage of voter apathy. This little fella told lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie

after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie. And, he was narrowly elected.

His final bill has yet to paid by the taxpayers.

WEEKENDER: Some Things Will Never, Ever Change

The Martin Chronicles wants to wish our audience a Happy Easter with family and friends. While you celebrate this holiday marking the most profound event in Earth's history, we will be busily readying a huge story on the gigantic-and costly to the taxpayers-mess that was left behind by its most recent former-bad-joke-of-a-mayor and his hugely overpaid goon squad.

In the meantime, we continue to track the (mis)deeds of Villa Hills former disgraced "CEO". This tracking leads us to an observation and a few questions.

First, the observation:

We have obtained a photograph of a certain well known-and thoroughly embarrassed-former occupant of the mayor's office in Villa Hills collecting "donations" in front of the Wal-Mart in Ft. Wright.

Second, the questions:
  1. What would the significance of Kentucky Secretary of State documents that have been obtained showing that the "charity" for whom the former occupant of the Villa Hills' mayor's office who was soliciting "donations" in front of the Wal-Mart in Ft. Wright was "dissolved" many months before that collection be?
  2. What problems would donors to this "charity" that documents show had been dissolved many months before the collection run by the former occupant of the Villa Hills' mayor's office who was soliciting "donations" in front of the Wal-Mart in Ft. Wright face if they claimed these "donations" on their tax returns"?
  3. How could a person who has regularly claimed he holds a leadership position with this "charity" not know that Kentucky Secretary of State documents show that the "charity" was dissolved months before the collection in front of the Wal-Mart in Ft. Wright?
Sure, that person who has regularly claimed he holds a leadership position with this "charity" that Kentucky Secretary of State documents show was dissolved months before the collection in front of Wal-Mart in Ft. Wright loudly betrayed himself to be a corrupt and incompetent schlep during his four disgraceful years in the Villa Hills mayor's office. So, maybe this is just another example of his abject ineptitude and mismanagement.

Or, this could be yet another example of that schlep's-who spent four miserable years disgracing Villa Hills' City Government-abject dishonesty. Anything is possible with this corrupt clown.

We all know what this hapless schlep will claim if he gets into any hot water for collecting for a "charity" that Kentucky Secretary of State documents indicate was dissolved months before that collection. "I didn't know it was wrong then. But, I know it was wrong now". And, you know what? It will probably work. In fact, someone else will probably end up falling on their sword instead. It has always been that way for this little schlep.

Some things will never, ever change.

SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT: Lies Have "Short Legs"

The Martin Chronicles beloved publisher had a Saturday meeting with the reporters who are still compiling the final confirmations for the still-embargoed story that will shock-and cost-the taxpayers of Villa Hills, Kentucky. Rest assured, others will pay dearly as well.

So, our beloved publisher was in a reflective mood. He reminded the gathered reporters of something his favorite editor advised him when he was a young investigative reporter. The editor said, "Remember, LIES are like filthy rodents that have very short legs. If you keep chasing these filthy rodents, you will eventually catch them. Just don't quit".

That old editor was pretty darn smart. And, exactly right. His expression goes a long way to explaining how an oddly vain, ridiculous little man who once beat his chest and proclaimed, "I'm the CEO. It's MY decision. Get over it. We're moving on" suffered an historic, embarrassing defeat in last November's election.

That oddly vain, ridiculous little man was pathetically pummeled by the voters. Mostly for his endless stream of colossal LIES.

That oddly vain, ridiculous little man was cut down more than a few embarrassing notches. He was no longer "the CEO" after November 4. 2014. The voters turned this oddly vain, ridiculous little man in to "Mister 18%". Very few people deserved such a humiliating comeuppance more than this oddly vain, ridiculous little man. As many in Villa Hills now say, "What a crook".

There were three primary culprits responsible for the embarrassment Villa Hills suffered from January 1, 2011 until December 31, 2014-with a host of lesser cronies and feckless fools tagging along for the taxpayer-funded, lucrative ride. The oddly vain, ridiculous little man is gone. So is his very-costly to the taxpayers, chief advisor. Only his nasty hatchet man remains. We'll see what happens to him.

In the meantime, we will continue to chase those short-legged, filthy rodents.

WEEKENDER II: More Costly Questions To Answer

The Martin Chronicles can tell by its huge spike in readership that our audience is hot on the trail to uncover the identity of the individual we wrote about yesterday. Because many of our readers are very bright, we are quite convinced that they have already identified the person in question.

We now want to ask some serious questions-the answers to which could prove very costly to the taxpayers of Villa Hills.

1. In Kentucky, who has the statutory power to enter a municipality in to an agreement with another party?

2. In Kentucky, if that person with the statutory power to enter a municipality in to an agreement that approves the payment of specified sum of money to a third party signs that agreement, isn't the municipality obligated to live up to the terms of that aforementioned agreement?  

3. Does the fact that the person who had the statutory power to enter a municipality in to an agreement that approves the payment of a specified sum of money to a third party was resoundingly defeated in their recent, dishonest bid for re-election somehow free the taxpayers of that municipality from the commitment that was made?

4. Does the fact that the insurance company who represents the municipality informed the governing body that it is greatly limiting its financial exposure in the settlement of the agreement because the amount of money owed to the third party was the result of cynical, "intentional acts" perpetrated by the person who had the statutory power to enter that municipality in to that agreement represent a huge financial exposure to the taxpayers of that municipality?

Yes, we know these questions require some digging to answer. But, if you are a taxpayer of Villa Hills you should want to know the answers to these questions.

Because the answers could cost you a great deal of money.

WEEKENDER: Follow The Money

The Martin Chronicles is about to let loose the dogs of war. We are almost ready to reveal the embargoed story that will reveal the powder keg that the taxpayers have been sitting on since January 1, 2011. It won't be pretty. But, it will be very costly. You will learn the identity of all the miscreants who are responsible for this fiscal disaster.

We have some homework for our readers to do in the meantime. The Martin Chronicles is going to ask you to get on Al Gore's internet and do some searching. Why, because we have some serious questions for you that we will not answer.

1. Who is the person-who certainly should know better-who cost the taxpayers of Villa Hills a sizeable fortune giving questionable advice to a hideously corrupt former mayor?

2. Who is the person-who certainly should know better-who cost the taxpayers of Park Hills a sizeable fortune giving questionable advice to a hideously corrupt former mayor?

3. Who is the person-who should certainly know better-who is deeply embroiled in the turmoil of new mayor Tyler Herpes Erlanger?

4. Who is the person-who should certainly know better-who is unnecessarily draining hard-earned money out of a group of naïve people who are opposing the opening of a new Kroger store in Union?

We will give you one hint to figure out the identity of just one of those miserable miscreants. Why? Because The Martin Chronicles loves its huge audience.

"The answer to all four questions is the same".
