On May 25, 1961 President John F. Kennedy promised to send a man to the Moon and return him safely to Earth before the decade was out. A daunting task to be sure.
On May 16, 2012 Villa Hills Mayor Mike Martin promised to send a copy of his budget proposal that he said was ready in March to city council within twenty-four hours. Sounds simple enough, right?
America did land the first men on the Moon on July 20, 1969 and returned them safely to Earth a few days later. Kennedy's promise was kept.
Today is May 23, 2012 - nearly ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT HOURS SINCE MARTIN MADE HIS PROMISE. Villa Hills city council still has not seen Martin's budget proposal that was ready in March. The keeping of Martin's promise? Not so much.
That's one small lie for Martin. One GIANT MESS for Villa Hills.
