That's Our Story And We're Sticking To It.

Everyone on the staff of the Martin Chronicles has an imitation rabbit’s foot in their pocket today. We all tossed salt over our shoulder as we ate our Midnight Meal before resuming work on this very early morning. No one will be careless around mirrors or walk under any ladders as we make our way through the day. Black cats, fugetaboutit! Why, because it is Friday the 13th of course. We may or may not be superstitious, but we sure aren’t going to press our luck either!

The Martin Chronicles is very rough on the Villa Hills Civic Club. And why not? They are largely responsible for perpetrating the fraud on the people of Villa Hills that is Mayor Mike Martin. Despite our tough treatment, we have many friends there who give us updates.  For the record, they are certainly not the vine-swinging log-thumpers that we regularly skewer with such great regularity.

Much like our report on Martin’s Tuesday computer antics, this report also sent us on a mission to do a whole lot of fact checking. We confirmed it with multiple sources within the Club and feel comfortable reporting what we know to you. We just can’t believe anybody can be this stupid.

Martin, his wife Janet and the $15 per hour crony-hire clerk whose signature is on the falsified paperwork supposedly listing all of the documents Martin threw into his “city records barbecue” on January 5th were having what we have to assume  they thought was a private meeting at an out-of-the-way table in the Club. They should have been more careful. Perhaps the crony-hire clerk will take another unanticipated trip of Florida after Special Counsel gets a hold of this.

Witnesses say the Martins and the crony-hire clerk were surrounded by notebooks and papers. These witnesses have good reason to believe that the trio were trying to “get their story straight” about their destruction of City documents. No matter the story they ended up concocting, several sources confirm these three co-conspirators are in for some huge surprises in the weeks ahead.

Martin certainly seems to be making a concerted effort to cover the tracks of his last sixteen months. What he doesn’t know is what is going to bite him.

[EDITORS NOTE: We are working on a breaking story that an April 23 court proceeding has been announced dealing with Martin's January 5 document burn. We will provide details as we uncover them.]
