Martin's Next Move?

The Martin Chronicles has been predicting it now for many months. It is the Martin Way. Villa Hills Mayor Mike Martin lied during his $1.505 MILLION lawsuit against the taxpayers. He lied during his dirtbag mayoral race. Now he is going to lie and try to divert attention away from his malfeasant behavior and the incredible mess he has created, hoping that people will not see him for the cornered rat he is.

We saw the first round at last Wednesday’s Council meeting. Remember? Martin’s big “bombshell”? How did it go? Martin conceded that he has avoided taxes, fees and licenses in his business practices. But he said Councilman Tim Sogar was guilty of the same offense! As we have already reported, Martin was (once again) DEAD WRONG. But that isn’t even the point. The point is that he is playing the final “marked” cards he has remaining in his corrupt deck.

He’ll try to make all manner of excuses for every bit of his corrupt and foolish behavior. It will either be the fault of the previous administration (that left him the Number One City in Northern Kentucky) or the current City Council that (with the exceptions of Mike Pope and Jim Noll) he has refused to work with from the jump. With Martin, it's always lie after lie after lie after lie.

Martin was able to fool the idiots at the Civic Club and the holier-than-thou pinheads of the St. Joe’s Heavy Drinking Men’s Society during the 2010 election. He may even be able to dupe these morons again. They don’t matter nearly as much anymore. Just ask the recently defrocked General Zod.

But a growing majority of people, who generally mind their own business, go to work to take care of their families and pay their taxes have got Martin figured out. They have seen him destroy the City over these past fifteen months. They know he is simply an unintelligent, corrupt little man who is in way over his head.

Here is what we predict is coming next. Martin will implore the voters who unwisely elected him to make another huge mistake. He will ask for more council members like Mike Pope and Jim Noll. It is the same kind of strategy Steve Clark tried in 2000. It didn’t work then.

If it works this time, if Martin somehow fools the voters again, then the City that was considered the gem of Northern Kentucky just two years ago should simply throw in the proverbial towel. West Crescent Springs? What do you think? Do you think that has a nice ring to it?

There is only one change that needs to be made to begin to put the City back on the right path. It is Mike Martin who must go.
