Have you checked out the OFFICIAL City of Villa Hills website? “Under Construction”? Still? After nearly 13 months of Martin’s “Reign of Error”? Didn’t Martin promise to make the website a more effective communication tool? Instead of hiring all of those expensive website consultants and computer companies and squandering gobs of taxpayer dollars, Martin should have just announced that Mike Pope’s “Alternative Reality” website is the OFFICIAL website of the City of Villa Hills. It would have been a whole lot cheaper. Much Weirder. But a whole lot cheaper.
While on the subject of “under construction”, have you been by the city building lately? The new city parking lot is still an orange cone-covered, concertina wire-draped, dangerous-ditched mess. The only thing missing are a few machine gun nests. You may recall our report that Martin chose Election Day 2011 to pour concrete for the expensive new lot. We wonder if that had any impact on the voter’s rebuke of Martin’s proposed road tax. Perhaps Martin plans to open Villa Hills’ version of Sanford and Son’s Salvage Yard at 720 Rogers Road.
Back to computers. As you recall, The Martin Chronicles has been reporting on the mayor’s suspicious “after-hours” removal of computers from city property. Remember? The ones he was “storing” at employee work stations? Martin then squandered taxpayer money on “new” computers. As Green Acres’ indecisive County Agent Hank Kimball used to say, “Well, not exactly new. In fact, they aren’t new at all. They are used. But they are good. Well, not exactly good. In fact, they don’t work at all.” Not to worry. Martin has a bead on some Commodore 64’s to replace them!
Did you notice that the interim city clerk abruptly left Wednesday night’s council meeting? Rumor has it she was told a process server entered the building. We are told the interim city clerk missed work on Thursday as well. There are two possibilities. One, she was hiring an attorney. Two, she went somewhere to get the Martin-driven bus tire tracks removed from her back. Martin now blames her for the document destruction? Is that right?
While on the subjects of “missing in action” and “process servers”, rumor has it that Mike Pope ducked the council meeting and has begun some slick “evasive action” that would put a WWII US Navy Destroyer to shame to avoid being served his lawsuit papers. He better consider laying down a smokescreen as well.
Rest assured Mike Martin’s own ship-of-state is well past “evasive action”. Look for a spread of torpedoes to hit it broadside very shortly. It appears some of the crew is already abandoning ship.
