The Martin Chronicles thinks the people of Villa Hills deserve an explanation from their Ethics Board. They are really straightforward questions.
Why did they remain as silent as the Queen's Palace Guard when confronted with questions about the misbehavior of Mayor Clark in 2000? And why do they remain equally mum on inquiries brought to them about the questionable actions of what we laughingly refer to as the Martin Administration?
The Ethics Board seems fond of saying these questions go beyond the "scope of their authority." They say the actions of Clark and Martin did not involve "financial gain".
Let's make the perilous leap of faith and assume the Ethic Board is correct. Then why in the wide, wide world of sports did the board then choose to attack people who they claim "leaked" accurate information to news outlets in both instances. That simply doesn't make sense.
How do those so-called "leakers" gain financially? The obvious answer is that they don't. So then why does the Ethics Board make an issue of the "alleged leaks". It's beyond their "scope of authority" after all, isn't it?.
And why does the Ethics Board believe that the community is better off when the improprieties of government officials are ignored?
The Ethics Board has not been consistent in their public statements or positions. If they choose to do a "duck and cover" on the complaint currently before them, they should not be surprised when the complaint then goes to the Attorney General.
The Martin Chronicles does not expect Jack Conway to be quite so reluctant.
