The Martin Chronicles suggests you consider either attending tonight’s Villa Hills City Council meeting or watching it LIVE on Insight Channel 16. There are so many things going on it is truly hard to predict what will happen or how long the meeting will last.
Here are our TOP TEN reasons why you should watch tonight’s meeting -
10. Will the issue of Martin’s January 5 city document burning be discussed? There seem to be several conflicting reports about exactly what was burned. This one should cause a few folks to squirm.
9. On a related note, will Martin offer up a plausible-or much more likely an implausible- explanation for records he previously claimed didn’t even exist suddenly becoming so unmanageable that he felt compelled to burn them in the middle of a serious lawsuit?
8. Will Martin offer up yet another excuse for how his mismanagement has led to police overtime expenses well in excess of $100,000? Given the fact that he never once talked to the Police Chief about controlling costs over the past year, the mayor will be hard-pressed to blame his predecessor. But blame the little rascal will.
7. Will Martin explain how despite his self-proclaimed impressive performance before the mysterious NKAPC “president Paul DePaul” (See our Wednesday December 14, 2011 post) defending the city’s sidewalk ordinance, he now wants to reverse field and allow the developers to do whatever the heck they want?
6. Will City Attorney Mike Duncan advise council that all of them should retain personal legal counsel?
5. Will any warrants, complaints, judgments or subpoenas be served on live television? And if so, will the interim city clerk begin weeping uncontrollably?
4. Will the camera-hogging, scandal-mongering, pompous County “Boss” Steve Arlinghaus come to the council meeting to offer yet another mindless opinion not even remotely resembling anything based in fact and truth?
3. Will the stupefied pinheads watching in a drunken stupor at the Civic Club bar once again ask shout at the TV, “Why don’t them there council guys like Martin? He’s the gal-danged mahrr. Them laws don’t counts for him! He better not be a’leavin afore I get me one of them there city government handouts like some of my good buddies have a-got!”
2. Will Councilman Greg Kilburn propose yet another massive tax increase to raise the bazillion dollars he claims the city needs each year for street repair?
And now, THE NUMBER ONE REASON TO ATTEND OR VIEW TONIGHT’S COUNCIL MEETING:
Will Martin propose any more new, outside-the-jackass-in-the-box, “cost-saving” measures that end up needlessly costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and lead to more councilmembers calling for his resignation? We hope not. The taxpayers are pretty much tapped out.
