Being a curious blog, The Martin Chronicles decided to learn more about how Councilman Jim Noll's proposed time clock for Villa Hills' employees is working in the City of Ft. Mitchell. In the event you didn't watch Wednesday night's meeting, council and the public were informed that Ft. Mitchell had instituted the same time clock Noll is proposing to track Villa Hills 11 "hired hands".
It was announced that Mayor Martin and his endlessly interim city clerk would be making the trip up Buttermilk Pike to observe the Ft. Mitchell time clock in action. Or perhaps not.
You see, we had one of our reporters contact Ft. Mitchell to get an update. Boy, were we surprised to learn that Ft. Mitchell hasn't adopted the time clock! It looks like the mayor and endlessly interim city clerk are going to be very bored when they go to Ft. Mitchell for their training session.
Oh, by the way. You didn't hear it discussed at the council meeting. But Mayor Martin's move to have Kenton County Boss Steve Arlinghaus' courtesans collect the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX has been an unmitigated disaster. At the current rate of collections, actual UNFAIR STICKER revenues will be lucky to reach 60% of the budget target.
Here's more good UNFAIR STICKER TAX news. Boss Arlinghaus wants to impose his own UNFAIR $35 PER CAR COUNTY STICKER TAX. So, for the rare Villa Hills' resident who obeys the law it will now cost $75 PER CAR!
Time for another budget amendment? Or, maybe an injunction!
